Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Create 'old' ptes for faultaround mappings on arm64 with hardware access flag

Hi folks,

This series allows architectures to opt-in at runtime for faultaround
mappings to be created as 'old' instead of 'young'. Although there have
been previous attempts at this, they failed either because the decision
was deferred to userspace [1] or because it was done unconditionally and
shown to regress benchmarks for particular architectures [2].

Since this patch has demonstrated considerable benefits for arm64-based
Android devices with hardware access flag capabilities, patch two enables
this functionality there.

Cheers,

Will
