SubjectRe: [PATCH RFC 0/3] pagemap: make useable for non-privilege users
From
Hi Konstantin,

I modified our code to check for the map-exclusive flag where it used
to compare pageframe numbers. First tests look pretty promising, so
this patch looks like a viable approach for us.

Is there anything further we can do to help?

Thanks,
Mark
