I don't think that dropping _PAGE_PSE check in pmd_present() works well because it can hurt optimization of tlb handling in thp split. In the current kernel, bit 6 is not used in non-present format because nonlinear file mapping is obsolete, so let's move _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY to that bit. Bit 7 is used as reserved (always clear), so please don't use it for other purpose.
