    I suspect that there is some non-zero order-X (probably 2 or 3), where you
    just win more than you lose. Even for small programs.

    Furthermore it would obviously help to enhance the clear_user_page()
    interface to handle multiple pages because that would nullify the
    startup/finish overhead of the copy loop. (read as: things like TLB
    loads and FPU save/restore on some platforms)
