Thanks Mike,  I also verified that the tests build/run as they should.

I started the current scheme when adding support for hugetlbfs, which I
thought would be a 'one off'.  Did not know about the shmem work that was
in progress.

Another option is to only have a single userfaultfd executable and pass
an option (anon, hugetlb, shmem ...) that indicates the type of pages/mapping
to test.

In any case, the makefile modifications work so this is not urgent.  Perhaps
we can discuss with Andrea and figure out what would be the best scheme
moving forward.
