One approach that may be a clean way to solve this:
1. Long term GUP usage requires the virtual mapping to the pages be fixed
for the duration of the GUP Map. There never has been a way to break
the pinnning and thus this needs to be preserved.
2. Page Cache Long term pins are not allowed s

I think I've finally wrapped my head around all of this. Let's see if I
have this right:

organize the data in the memory and share it between various proc
