I was just about to write code to cleanly support vm_insert_pages() to 
consume zeropages ... when I started to wonder about something else:


+	if (vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE || vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC ||
+	    !(vma->vm_flags & VM_MAYSHARE))
+		return -EPERM;
+

You disallow writable mappings. But what about using mprotect() 
afterwards to allow for write permissions?

Likely you'd want to remove VM_MAYWRITE from the flags, otherwise 
mprotect() might alter succeed.
