Hmm, I'm not sure; it's the same as a none pte in this case, so imho we still
can't tell if it's swapped out or simply the pte got zapped but page cache will
still hit (even if being swapped out may be the most possible case).

What we're clear is we know it's uffd wr-protected, so maybe setting PM_UFFD_WP
is still the simplest?

Thanks,
