It would be nice to document the rules here. So when we try to add a hash
page entry, and if that result in demotion of the segment are we suppose to
flush slbs ? Also why would one want to hash anything other
than current->mm ? How will this get called ? 

May be they are explained in later patches. But can we also explain it
here.
