Yep, nice.

I'm not sure we can simply "skip" batching on pte_protnone() since we will need
to terminate the batch if we spot it. But if we have to look for it anyway, we
might as well just terminate the batch when the value of pte_protnone()
*changes*. I'm also proposing to take this approach for pte_uffd_wp() which also
needs to be carefully preserved per-pte.
