copy_one_pte needs to copy the anonymous COWed pages in a VM_UNPAGED area, zap_pte_range needs to free them, do_wp_page needs to COW them: just like ordinary pages, not like the unpaged. But recognizing them is a little subtle: because PageReserved is no longer a condition for remap_pfn_range, we can now mmap all of /dev/mem (whether the distro permits, and whether it's advisable on this or that architecture, is another matter). So if we can see a PageAnon, it may not be ours to mess with (or may be ours from elsewhere in the address space). I suspect there's an entertaining insoluble self-referential problem here, but the page_is_anon function does a good practical job, and MAP_PRIVATE PROT_WRITE VM_UNPAGED will always be an odd choice. In updating the comment on page_address_in_vma, noticed a potential NULL dereference, in a path we don't actually take, but fixed it.
