Not technically correct, there are other callers that pass NULL for
emulation_type.

Is there a problem with dropping the argument then?

Can we not use the "intended"? It sounds like hedging for excuses.

From the name, it makes sense to not count KVM_MAP_MEMORY as a pf_taken. But
kvm_arch_async_page_ready() increments it as well. Which makes it more like a
"faulted-in" count. I think the code in this patch is ok.
