I'm really not a fan of these, because I assume we will never ever 
implement these any time soon. (who will waste 1 GiG or more on faster 
reading of 0s?)

See below, pfn, prot and page can likely go.

Oh, why is that required? We are inserting a folio and start messing 
with VM_PAT on x86 that only applies to VM_PFNMAP mappings? :)

Why are we suddenly working with that pfn_t whichcraft? :)


> +		folio = page_folio(page);

Ehm, you got the folio ... passed into this function?

Why can't that simply be

folio_get(folio);
folio_add_file_rmap_pud(folio, folio_page(folio, 0), vma);

VM_WARN_ON_ONCE().

Please drop that or so something like

VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(page != folio_page(folio, 0));

Maybe you want

if (!vma_is_dax(vma))
	return;

To then reduce alignment. I suspect all other splitting code (besides 
anon memory) will want to do the same thing here in the future.
