...ohhh, wait, I should have read the earlier message from Jens more
carefully:

"The conflict isn't trivial, I guess we need to handle the different
types of pages differently when releasing them."

So it's not good to have a logically identical patch. argghhh. Let me see
how hard it is to track these memory types separately and handle the release
accordingly, just a sec.

Sorry about the false move here.
