Right, so unmap vs reclaim is only nasty because we'd hold up reclaim,
avoiding it from doing useful work. Then again, avoiding it from
reclaiming stuff we're throwing away anyway is good, but holding it up
from doing other work less so.

/me applies axe to see what he gets.

XXX: still needs !generic-tlb arch updates, and probably should cure the
tlb_flush_mmu(.start=0, .end=0) thing.

Temping diffstat, but like you said, not quite sure if its fair wrt
reclaim..

- *

- * while the lock is dropped; but never shifted from list to prio_tree.

- * quickly skip it next time around. Since the prio_tree search only
- * shows us those vmas affected by unmapping the range in question, we

- * so instead reset them all whenever it wraps back to 0 (then go to 1).
- * mapping->truncate_count and vma->vm_truncate_count are protected by
- * i_mmap_mutex.
