Yeah, if that's sufficient, then that original patch should just work as-is.

But there was some reason why people didn't like that patch
originally, and I think it was literally about how it only worked on
private mappings (the "we don't have a flag for it in the vm_flags"
part was just a small detail.

I guess that objection ended up changing over time.
