TBH, I am a bit confused. I was thinking about some kernel unit tests to make
sure those kernel APIs touched by this patchset are still working as before.
This userspace test, while certainly useful for checking the content of page
frames as expected, doesn't directly prove things haven't changed.

In patch 1/4, a couple of APIs have the fixup for the fake head issue.
Do you think a test like the below would be more sensible?
1. alloc 2MB hugeTLB
2. get each page frame
3. apply those APIs in each page frame
4. Those APIs work completely the same as before.
