IMHO, ZERO_PFN_PRESENT_PAGE looks a bit monstrous.
It looks like zero page is a proper noun in the kernel, so PAGE_IS_ZERO
might be a good choice here, but it is up to you.

```
Currently THP only works for anonymous memory mappings and tmpfs/shmem.
But in the future it can expand to other filesystems.
```
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/next/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.html
so THP can be "file backed".

This looks correct to me.
