I still have a rather bad feeling about that.

This should either not be necessary any more in general or the shmemfile 
approach doesn't work correctly.

Please send a patch to remove this for everybody instead and we will see 
if that really works or not.

Maybe you should re-use the TTM_PAGE_FLAG_SG for this and/or rename the 
flag to better describe what it does.

Something like TTM_PAGE_FLAG_EXTERNAL or similar? The only other use 
case for TTM_PAGE_FLAG_SG which comes to my mind is controlling if the 
pages array is allocated or not.

Christian.
