Still reserved, with a NULL mapping. I'd say it could be the same page.

OK that could be useful if I do some grepping and see which ones are
setting PG_reserved.

Thanks.

Might help. I guess the site where it is allocated from might be
another one, although I'm hoping that if we know what ->nopage is
being used then we'll be able to track it. OTOH it may be using
remap_pfn_range from fops->mmap, rather than nopage... I wonder
how we could get at that info? vma->vm_file->f_op->mmap?
