Yes, pagewalk works exactly as your description.

Using the .pte_hole() can be one option, we may stop detecting the
unmapped holes when .pte_hole() been first called for a hole which
is outside vma. But, .pte_hole() would be called many times during
the walking, because it is called for holes inside and outside VMA.
.test_walk() is called once for one vma, and not called for other
situation, so better for cost.

I guess the original design was to avoid walking those vma twice, one
for test holes and one for queue pages. Maybe we can find better
choice?
