I have tested on Broadcom's Stingray cpu with 48G RAM:
__init_single_page() takes 19.30ns / 64-byte struct page
Wit the change it takes 17.33ns / 64-byte struct page
Please add this data and also the data from Intel to the description.
Thank you,

The comment above becomes outdated. Please change, we use optimized
mm_zero_struct_page on every 64-bit platform.
