I can confirm, its all really confusing... So in userfaultfd_api, we disable
three features if CONFIG_PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP is not enabled- including 
UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED:

#ifndef CONFIG_PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP
        uffdio_api.features &= ~UFFD_FEATURE_WP_HUGETLBFS_SHMEM;
        uffdio_api.features &= ~UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED;
        uffdio_api.features &= ~UFFD_FEATURE_WP_ASYNC;
#endif

If you run the userfaultfd selftests with the run_vmtests script we get
several failures stemming from trying to call uffdio_regsiter with the flag 
UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP. However, the kernel ensures in vma_can_userfault() 
that if CONFIG_PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP is disabled, only allow the VM_UFFD_WP -
which is set when you pass the UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP flag - on 
anonymous vmas.

In parse_test_type_arg() I added the features check against 
UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED as it seemed the most well know feature/flag. I'm 
more than happy to take any suggestions and adapt them if you have any! 

Thanks in advance and happy Monday!
