I know this is only needed for x86_64, but I don't think it needs to
be ifdef in order for everything to work.

Nice. Thanks for handling this case. It's very frustrating when THP
makes test assertions flaky.

It would be a nice follow up to use these to clean up the magic
numbers in __virt_pg_map:
const uint64_t pg_size = 1ull << ((page_size * 9) + 12);

I think these should only be defined for x86_64 too. Is this the right
file for these definitions or is there an arch specific file they
should go in?
