It really makes sense to classify these tests here as static and dynamic.
Static are the ones that test via page table entry values modification
without changing anything on the actual page table itself. Where as the
dynamic tests do change the page table. Static tests would probably never
require any lock synchronization but the dynamic ones will do.

In this comment, please do add some more details about how these tests
need proper locking mechanism unlike the previous static ones. Also add
a similar comment section for the static tests that dont really change
page table and need not require corresponding locking mechanism. Both
comment sections will make this classification clear.

hugetlb_basic_tests() is a non page table modifying static test and
should be classified accordingly.

Changes till this patch fails to boot on arm64 platform. This should be
folded with the next patch.
