Nick is talking about changing the kenrel so that it "refcounts pagetable pages". I'm not sure why. I assume that this means that each pte page's refcount will be incremented by one for each instantiated pte. If so, then /proc/pid/smaps can become a lot more efficient. Just add up the page refcounts on all the pte pages - no need to walk the ptes themselves.
