Just to summerize -
So platform will create NUMA balancing like page faults - via marking existing
mappings with PAGE_NONE permission, when the subsequent fault happens identify
such cases via a software bit in the page table entry and then route the fault
to the platform code itself for special purpose page fault handling where page
might come from some reserved areas instead.
Some questions
- How often PAGE_NONE is to be marked for applicable MTE VMA based mappings
- Is it periodic like NUMA balancing or just one time for tag storage
- How this is going to interact with NUMA balancing given both use PAGE_NONE
- How to differentiate these mappings from standard pte_protnone()
