I'll defer to Will's response, but not all arm HW supports HW access flag
management. In that case it's done by SW, so I would imagine that by setting
this to old initially, we will get a second fault to set the access bit, which
will slow things down. I wonder if you will need to split this into (up to) 3
calls to set_ptes()?
