I think for PTEs we just handle all cases (markers, hwpoison etc)
properly, manye not being supported yet on the PMD level. See
copy_nonpresent_pte() as an example.
We don't even have helpers like is_pte_migration_entry().

I thought I argued that
if (!pmd_present(pmdval)))
Should be sufficient here in my last review?
We want to detect page tables we can map after all.
