In theory you can speedup that check by memcmp(),
And do something like first:
memcmp(ptr, ptr + PAGE_SIZE/sizeof(*page)/2, PAGE_SIZE/2);
After compare 1/4 with 2/4
Then 1/8 with 2/8.
And after do you check with pattern, only on first 512 bytes.

Just because memcmp() on fresh CPU are crazy fast.
That can easy make you check less expensive.

Same here, but with memcpy().

P.S.
I'm just too busy to make fast performance test in user space,
but my recent experience with that CPU commands, show what that make a sense:
KSM patch: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9980803/
User space tests: https://github.com/Nefelim4ag/memcmpe
PAGE_SIZE: 65536, loop count: 1966080
memcmp:  -28                    time: 3216 ms,  th: 40064.644611 MiB/s
memcmpe: -28, offset: 62232     time: 3588 ms,  th: 35902.462390 MiB/s
memcmpe: -28, offset: 62232     time: 71 ms,    th: 1792233.164286 MiB/s

IIRC, with code like our, you must see ~2.5GiB/s

Thanks.
