There are also paths where we remove and reinstate parts of the linear 
map via set_memory_valid(), set_direct_map_*(), and possibly others. If 
we're exposing a user ABI that claims to be accounting kernel VA 
mappings, then I think users are within their rights to expect it to 
actually account kernel VA mappings, not just expose numbers whose only 
guaranteed significance is whether they are zero or nonzero.

Looking again, am I also right in thinking that what I assumed were the 
non-contiguous counts here are actually total counts of *either* type of 
mapping at that level, and inclusive of the contiguous counts? If so, 
that seems a bit non-obvious - my intuitive expectation would be for the 
sum of all these numbers to represent the total amount of direct-mapped 
RAM, where either we're intersted in each distinct type of mapping and 
accounting them all separately, or we're simply interested in the 
general shape of the pagetables, and thus would account per-level and 
ignore the contiguous bit since we don't know whether it's actually 
doing anything useful anyweay.

Thanks,
Robin.
