Subject: [PATCH v1 06/14] mm, x86: support the access bit on non-leaf PMD entries

Some architectures support the accessed bit on non-leaf PMD entries
(parents) in addition to leaf PTE entries (children) where pages are
mapped, e.g., x86_64 sets the accessed bit on a parent when using it
as part of linear-address translation [1]. Page table walkers who are
interested in the accessed bit on children can take advantage of this:
they do not need to search the children when the accessed bit is not
set on a parent, given that they have previously cleared the accessed
bit on this parent in addition to its children.
