Unlike regular CPU page table we do not rely on unmap to prune HMM mirror
page table. Rather we free/prune it aggressively once the device no longer
have anything mirror in a given range.
As such mapcount is use to keep track of any many valid entry there is per
directory.
Moreover mapcount is also use to protect from concurrent pruning when
you walk through the page table you increment refcount by one along your
way. When you done walking you decrement refcount.
Because of that last aspect, the mapcount can never reach zero because we
unmap page, it can only reach zero once we cleanup the page table walk.

No we don't right now. First reason is that i wanted to keep things simple for
device driver. Second motivation is to keep first patchset simpler especialy
the page migration code.
Memory overhead is 2MB per GB of virtual memory mirrored. There is no TLB here.
I believe adding huge page can be done as part of a latter patchset if it makes
sense.

Jérôme
