I see. Sorry, I had missed that we were on the temporary tables at this point
in time.

I'm still not keen on duplicating the iteration. Can we split the vmemmap code
so that we have a variant that takes a GFP? 

That way we could explicitly pass __GFP_ZERO for those cases where we want a
zeroed page, and are happy to pay the cost of initialization.

Thanks
Mark.
