I just went ahead with both of those still in, my do_mas_munmap()
non-fix reverted, and your "Fix stale data copy" added: looks very
promising so far, been running two hours without a problem. I
do expect it to hit the migration entry !PageLocked BUG soon (as
it quickly did on the laptop), but that's okay: I'll switch over
to thinking about that BUG, so long as tonight's run does not
crash in some other way.
