I think it was actually Yu Zhou who was arguing for something more like this?

I don't love it, because as I've expressed previously, I don't think an API that
operates on a "range" of pages has any business manipulating a PMD mapping,
because it can't be subdivided. So my preference is for what I've already got.

But certainly your proposal to use nr=-1 to mean compound is the nicest way I've
seen since you no longer make nr redundant in this case.

Given you and Yu both have a lot more experience with this code than me, I'll
follow your advice and do it this way for the next rev.

Thanks,
Ryan
