Subject[PATCH 0/2] ZERO PAGE again v3.
After v2 discussion, I felt that "Go" sign can be given if implemetaion is neat
and tiny and overhead seems very small. Here is v3.

In this version,

- use pte_special() in vm_normal_page()
All ZERO_PAGE check will go down to vm_normal_page() and check is done here.
Some new flags in follow_page() and get_user_pages().

- per arch use-zero-page config is added.
IIUC, archs which have _PAGE_SPECIAL is only x86, powerpc, s390.
Because this patch make use of pte_special() check, config to use zero page
is added and you can turn it off if necessary.
I this patch, only x86 is turned on which I can test.

Any comments are welcome.

Thanks,
-Kame
