Yes, I read the patch just now.

Yes I noticed that PTE bits reserved for software are too limited on RISC-V.
Besides softdirty, we probably can support uffd write-protect on
RISC-V if we will have two PTE bits for use.

Yes, I also learned that CRIU uses soft-dirty.

I haven't tried CRIU, actually I found soft-dirty was missing on
RISC-V by the way of running mm selftest cases.
I can cook a new patch to implement soft-dirty and ZONE_DEVICE share
the PTE bit(9), and make both features mutually exclusive if this
solution is accepted.
Or not to add soft-dirty until we have more other PTE bits that can be
used for software.
I'm open to listen to suggestions.
