BTW, have you tried the perf bench mmap test again with the new
clear_page? Both with single page and multiple pages scenarios. And
ideally on more than one platform.
Will pointed out (in a private chat) that current clear_page() uses
non-temporal stores while memset() doesn't. It may not make any
difference in practice but it would be good to have some numbers.
