Yeb. Thanks for the review. Here v2 goes.

Subject: [PATCH v2] mm: pmd dirty emulation in page fault handler
Andreas reported [1] made a test in jemalloc hang in THP mode in arm64.
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/mvmmvfy37g1.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The problem is page fault handler supports only accessed flag emulation
for THP page of SW-dirty/accessed architecture.
This patch enables dirty-bit emulation for those architectures.
Without it, MADV_FREE makes application hang by repeated fault forever.
