HAVE_MOVE_PUD enables remapping pages at the PUD level if both the source and destination addresses are PUD-aligned. With HAVE_MOVE_PUD enabled it can be inferred that there is approximately a 13x improvement in performance on x86. (See data below). ------- Test Results --------- The following results were obtained using a 5.4 kernel, by remapping a PUD-aligned, 1GB sized region to a PUD-aligned destination. The results from 10 iterations of the test are given below: Total mremap times for 1GB data on x86. All times are in nanoseconds.

(~13x speed up).
