And see last use-case for how much it can hurt. :)

It shouldn't differs much for the same *number* of pages between [u]archs
unless setup of the pte is significantly more expensive or page fault is

But of course, I can move FAULT_AROUND_PAGES to arch/x86/ and let
architecture mantainers to decide if they want the feature. ;)
