I can create:
* mmap_region_populate()
* call_mmap_populate()
This would localize the changes and leave out those boolean parameters.

So can I conclude from this that in general having populate available for
device memory is something horrid, or just the implementation path?
That's the main reason why I made this RFC patch set, to get clear answer
to that question. I.e. if it is in general sense a bad idea, I'll just
create ioctl. If it is the implementation, I'll try to improve it.
Otherwise, I don't know whether or not it is good idea to include such
patch into the main SGX2 patch set. No means enforcibl tryy to push support
IO memory populate.
