perhaps a cleaner way would be to add a new PG_* flag in page-flags.h and set that on pages allocated in the VMA. require madvise to happen while the VMA has no pages. and then do the wiping in the put_page() machinery.

So yeah, ideally this is something that propagates down to the pages rather than just being a property of the VMA. Hmm.
