ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL is selected by:

arc
arm		(if LPAE)
arm64
mips		(if !(32BIT && CPU_HAS_RIXI))
powerpc
riscv
s390
sh
sparc		(if SPARC64)
x86

HAVE_FAST_GUP is supported by:

arm		(if LPAE)
arm64
mips
powerpc
s390
sh
x86

so mips would be a candidate.  But I think only in theory, as
the options selecting CPU_HAS_RIXI do not select
CPU_SUPPORTS_HUGEPAGES.  Adding the mips maintainer to double check
my logic.
