Soft dirty bit allows us to track which pages are written since the last clear_ref (by "echo 4 > /proc/pid/clear_refs".) This is useful for userspace applications to know their memory footprints. Note that the kernel exposes this flag via bit[55] of /proc/pid/pagemap, and the semantics is not a default one (scheduled to be the default in the near future.) However, it shifts to the new semantics at the first clear_ref, and the users of soft dirty bit always do it before utilizing the bit, so that's not a big deal. Users must avoid relying on the bit in page-types before the first clear_ref.
