Thanks for the example. Yes, I believe the code still can be compacted 
to save some lines. However, the cover letter and the commit log of this 
patch has elaborated the discussion in the earlier reviews about why we 
do it in this way.

Or you just mean I don't have to call do_munmap() for the special 
mappings with the "downgrade" flag to save some cycles since do_munmap() 
will redo something which have been done?

Thanks,
Yang
