Speeding up mremap's moving of ptes has never been a priority, but the locking will get more complicated shortly, and is already too baroque. Scrap the current one-by-one moving, do an extent at a time: curtailed by end of src and dst pmds (have to use PMD_SIZE: the way pmd_addr_end gets elided doesn't match this usage), and by latency considerations. One nice property of the old method is lost: it never allocated a page table unless absolutely necessary, so you could free empty page tables by mremapping to and fro. Whereas this way, it allocates a dst table wherever there was a src table. I keep diving in to reinstate the old behaviour, then come out preferring not to clutter how it now is.
