ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL is selected by:
arc
arm (if LPAE)
arm64
mips (if !(32BIT && CPU_HAS_RIXI))
powerpc
riscv
s390
sh
sparc (if SPARC64)
x86
HAVE_FAST_GUP is supported by:
arm (if LPAE)
arm64
mips
powerpc
s390
sh
x86
so mips would be a candidate. But I think only in theory, as
the options selecting CPU_HAS_RIXI do not select
CPU_SUPPORTS_HUGEPAGES. Adding the mips maintainer to double check
my logic.
