The struct page->mapping, index fields are deprecated and soon to be only available as part of a folio. It is likely the intel_th code which sets page->mapping, index is was implemented out of concern that some aspect of the page fault logic may encounter unexpected problems should they not. However, the appropriate interface for inserting kernel-allocated memory is vm_insert_page() in a VM_MIXEDMAP. By using the helper function vmf_insert_mixed() we can do this with minimal churn in the existing fault handler. By doing so, we bypass the remainder of the faulting logic. The pages are still pinned so there is no possibility of anything unexpected being done with the pages once established. It would also be reasonable to pre-map everything on fault, however to minimise churn we retain the fault handler. We also eliminate all code which clears page->mapping on teardown as this has now become unnecessary. The MSU code relies on faulting to function correctly, so is by definition dependent on CONFIG_MMU. We avoid spurious reports about compilation failure for unsupported platforms by making this requirement explicit in Kconfig as part of this change too.
