Yes. You are right here.

Look at the prefault and cpu_has_hw_af for ARM64, it looks like we
can avoid to handle vmf->address == addr specially. It's OK to 
drop prefault and change the logic here a little bit to:
  if (arch_wants_old_prefaulted_pte())
      entry = pte_mkold(entry);
  else
      entry = pte_sw_mkyong(entry);

It's not necessary to use pte_sw_mkyong for vmf->address == addr
because HW will set the ACCESS bit in page table entry.

Add Will Deacon in case I missed something here. Thanks.
