If you change the name of the sofdirty thingy, adjust that one here as well.

I like that, similar to the softdirty thing we will simply not set the flag.

I wonder if we would want to have a helper for that like

static inline bool uffd_supports_wp_marker(void)
{
	return pgtable_uffd_wp_supported() && IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP);
}

That should clean all of this futher up.

Likely we could use the uffd_supports_wp_marker() wrapper here isntead and
remove the #ifdef.

This would also use the helper.

Simialrly here, just do a

if (!uffd_supports_wp_marker())
	return false;

and remove the ifdef

Same here.
