So I think just checking for VM_PFNMAP after the vma is set up should be enough to guarantee we'll only have pte_special ptes in there, ever. But I'm not sure, this stuff all isn't really documented much and the code is sometimes a maze (to me at least).
Yes, that makes sense. VM_PFNMAP and !VM_MIXEDMAP seems like the right check after the VMA is populated
But how do you stuff special pfns into a VMA outside the fault handler?
