Yes, I'd love to delete unmap_mapping_page() and use try_to_unmap(),
but couldn't easily do it.  I did cut out one paragraph which said:

"Next iteration, I would probably refactor zap_huge_pmd() so that the
same code could be used from zap_pmd_range() or try_to_unmap_one();
but that seems riskier and more trouble than this current iteration."

And I've certainly not found time to go back and try that since.
