Please read my posts to linux-mm on that subject. We discussed it last

Virtual mmap allows holes in the same way as page tables do.
I don't want to take expensive TLB misses to lookup a page.

So I actually like this, because it means that while we slow down
real IO, we don't slow down the cached cases at all.
