OK, I can do that. What about the other parts of zap_page_range(),
do I need to call them?
lru_add_drain();
tlb_gather_mmu(&tlb, mm, address, end);
update_hiwater_rss(mm);
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(mm, address, end);
[ unmap_single_vma(&tlb, vma, address, end, details);]
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(mm, address, end);
tlb_finish_mmu(&tlb, address, end);
