mm: document zone device struct page field usage
Patch series "mm/hmm: fixes for device private page migration", v3.
Testing the latest linux git tree turned up a few bugs with page
migration to and from ZONE_DEVICE private and anonymous pages.
Hopefully it clarifies how ZONE_DEVICE private struct page uses the same
mapping and index fields from the source anonymous page mapping.
This patch (of 3):
Struct page for ZONE_DEVICE private pages uses the page->mapping and and
page->index fields while the source anonymous pages are migrated to
device private memory. This is so rmap_walk() can find the page when
migrating the ZONE_DEVICE private page back to system memory.
ZONE_DEVICE pmem backed fsdax pages also use the page->mapping and
page->index fields when files are mapped into a process address space.
Add comments to struct page and remove the unused "_zd_pad_1" field to
make this more clear.
