The patchset adds quite a bit of material to core MM on behalf of a
single caller.  So can we please take a close look at why BPF is doing
this?

What would be involved in changing BPF to avoid doing this, or of
changing BPF to handle things locally?  What would be the end-user
impact of such an alteration?  IOW, what is the value to our users of
the present BPF behavior?
