On arm64 with CONT-PTE/PMD the returned pteval will have dirty or young set
if ANY of the PTE/PMDs had dirty or young set.

And, we will use that pteval for ALL the PTE/PMDs here.  So, we would set
the dirty or young bit in ALL PTE/PMDs.

Could that cause any issues?  May be more of a question for the arm64 people.
