[PATCH v1 0/9] mm: vm_normal_page*() improvements

[David Hildenbrand <david@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is the follow-up of [1]:
        [PATCH RFC 00/14] mm: vm_normal_page*() + CoW PFNMAP improvements

Based on mm/mm-new. I dropped the CoW PFNMAP changes for now, still
working on a better way to sort all that out cleanly.

Cleanup and unify vm_normal_page_*() handling, also marking the
huge zerofolio as special in the PMD. Add+use vm_normal_page_pud() and
cleanup that XEN vm_ops->find_special_page thingy.

There are plans of using vm_normal_page_*() more widely soon.

Briefly tested on UML (making sure vm_normal_page() still works as expected
without pte_special() support) and on x86-64 with a bunch of tests.

RFC -> v1:
* Dropped the highest_memmap_pfn removal stuff and instead added
  "mm/memory: convert print_bad_pte() to print_bad_page_map()"
* Dropped "mm: compare pfns only if the entry is present when inserting
  pfns/pages" for now, will probably clean that up separately.
* Dropped "mm: remove "horrible special case to handle copy-on-write
  behaviour"", and "mm: drop addr parameter from vm_normal_*_pmd()" will
  require more thought
* "mm/huge_memory: support huge zero folio in vmf_insert_folio_pmd()"
 -> Extend patch description.
* "fs/dax: use vmf_insert_folio_pmd() to insert the huge zero folio"
 -> Extend patch description.
* "mm/huge_memory: mark PMD mappings of the huge zero folio special"
 -> Remove comment from vm_normal_page_pmd().
* "mm/memory: factor out common code from vm_normal_page_*()"
 -> Adjust to print_bad_page_map()/highest_memmap_pfn changes.
 -> Add proper kernel doc to all involved functions
* "mm: introduce and use vm_normal_page_pud()"
 -> Adjust to print_bad_page_map() changes.
