Getting this working without a new Linux kernel -- and with
as-yet-to-be-written new stuff in it -- is unlikely to be on the cards is
it?
I think you suggested an in-kernel mechanism to wait for page-in and then
retry mapping. If that could be used by the in-kernel drivers and exposed
via our privcmd interface for qemu and rest of userspace too, that may be
the best single solution. Perhaps it could be largely hidden behind the
existing privcmd-mmap ioctls.
