So this doesn't implement ->invalidate_range_start().
By what means does it prevent new mappings from being established in the
range after core mm has tried to call ->invalidate_rande_start()?
mmap_sem, I assume?

are you sure? kvm_unmap_hva() and kvm_age_hva() read ->userspace_addr a
single time and it doesn't immediately look like there's a need to take the
lock here?
