I don't think we should even keep these bools around.  I have something
like this hiding in a branche, which properly cleans much of this up:

Notably:

This doesn't go all the way yet - the page_walk infrastructure is
built around the idea of doing its own vma lookups, and we should
eventually kill the lookup inside hmm entirely.
