You know how the kernel provides ZERO_PAGE, wouldn't it be cool if we
also had a ONES_PAGE and could remap all virtual addresses from a memory
mapped device to that page on an ungraceful disconnect? I do not know
how to accomplish that, so might just be crazy talk... But if it is
possible, that would be a pretty nifty way to solve this problem.
