The header changed but not the implementation? This will need to do
riscv and s390 too.

Though, really, I think the right path is to work toward removing
huge_ptep_get() from the arch code..

riscv and arm are doing the same thing - propogating dirty/young bits
from the contig PTEs to the results. The core code can do this, maybe
with a ARCH #define opt in.

s390.. Ouchy - is this because hugetlb wants to pretend that every
level is encoded as a PTE so it takes the PGD and recodes the flags to
the PTE layout??
