I really hate it. Like REALLY REALLY hate it.
This just seems really stupid.
How about making the zero-page on MIPS be PageCompound(), and then have
all the sub-pages just point to the first page - that's how compound pages
work anyway.
Then the mapcount/refcount is all done on the compound page, and none of
these problems occur.
Hmm?
