Technically it's needed already.  This example is currently semi-broken:

main()
 ksm_register_memory
 execve()   <-- no notifiction unless fd is proactively marked cloexec
                (which it isn't)

   new proc...do stuff (it's ->mm isn't registered)
   eventually exit() <-- close fd and clear up the old stale ->mm registered
