No problem, I think you should just stop using the VM_PFNMAP flag then.

I'd have to go back and find the discussion to verify, but if I
remember correctly the conclusion was that I needed to use it in
order to make sure that vm_normal_page() didn't start thinking it was
in fact a real page, ie. VM_PFNMAP + never a COW mapping..
Oh of course: the primary purpose for VM_PFNMAP is to signal a pfn
mapping, strangely enough. The COW facility is additional to that.
Sorry.
