Subject: RE:[PATCH 3/4] selftests/mm: add check_folio_orders() helper.

Hi Zi,

Thanks for the patch.

I have a nit suggestion to centralize some of the macro definitions
for better consistency and reusability.

Currently, these macros and `PGMAP_PRESENT` are defined locally in
`vm_util.c`. It would be cleaner to move them to the shared header
`vm_util.h`.

This would also allow us to consistently use `PM_PRESENT` (from the
header) instead of the local `PGMAP_PRESENT` duplicate. I noticed the
patch is already moving in this direction, and we can complete this
cleanup.

How about a change like this?
