But most common test config is with 64K page size.

yes. As explained in commit message, the idea was to keep it simpler.

"Keep it simple by using a #define and limiting hugepage size to 2M.
This keeps the test simpler instead of dynamically finding the page size
and huge page size.

Without this tests are broken w.r.t reading /proc/self/pagemap"

We can definitely look at updating multiple tests in selftest/vm to work 
with dynamic value of pagesize and huagepage size. But that can be 
outside this patch?
