[PATCH RFC 0/3] MAP_POPULATE for device memory

For device memory (aka VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP) MAP_POPULATE does nothing. Allow
to use that for initializing the device memory by providing a new callback
f_ops->populate() for the purpose.
SGX patches are provided to show the callback in context.
An obvious alternative is a ioctl but it is less elegant and requires
two syscalls (mmap + ioctl) per memory range, instead of just one
(mmap).
Jarkko Sakkinen (3):
mm: Add f_ops->populate()
x86/sgx: Export sgx_encl_page_alloc()
x86/sgx: Implement EAUG population with MAP_POPULATE
