How about:

Let's guard this with:
if (arch_sw_access_bit && !pte_young(vmf->orig_pte)) {
#define arch_sw_access_bit 0
by default and have arm64 override it (either to a variable or a constant
... your choice). Also, please somebody decide on a better name than
arch_sw_access_bit.

This indentation is wrong; it makes vmf->pte look like part of the subsequent
statement instead of part of the condition.
