Is it done by kconfig? If it helps:

* there's a static key hugetlb can use to tell if this is enabled or not like
how page_fixed_fake_head() uses it:

if (!static_branch_unlikely(&hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap_key))
	...

* there's a hugetlb page bit for that vmemmap optimized pages with
HpageOptimized(page).

* there is a separate hugetlb CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP which is not
the same as the ARCH kconfig.

But perhaps there's some relevance in the ARCH_HUGETLB specific to HGMv2 that I
am unaware.
