I don't think this is applicable; my suggestion went in a different direction.

Before considering to ack this, I'd like you, Tamas, to confirm this is really
what you had thought of. In particular ...

... changes like this one look somewhat odd to me.

What about MEM_ACCESS_ALWAYS_ON (visible in patch context)? Shouldn't that
become VM_EVENT_ALWAYS_ON then, too?

Further, what about MEM_PAGING and MEM_SHARING? Shouldn't those, at least
documentation purposes, then also gain a dependency on VM_EVENT?
