From: Jingqi Liu <jingqi....@intel.com>
ept-idle will clear PMD accessed bit to speedup PTE scan -- if the bit
remains unset in the next scan, all the 512 PTEs can be skipped.
So don't complain on !_PAGE_ACCESSED in pmd_bad().
Note that clearing PMD accessed bit has its own cost, the optimization
may only be worthwhile for
- large idle area
- sparsely populated area
