Why can't we stuff the bits in the VMA and retrieve it from there?
Basically always get a minor fault in hash and for keys handle
the fault in do_page_fault() and handle the keys from the VMA?

This is not clear, could you please rephrase? What is the bit in the
primary key we rely on?

It would be helpful if you had a text diagram explaining the PTE bits
before and after.

The code seems to be doing a lot more than the changelog suggests. A few
functions are completely removed, common code between 64K and 4K has been
split under #ifndef. It would be good to call all of these out.

It would be good to split out these as cleanups, I can't see anything
change above, its a little confusing to review it.
