I suppose _PAGE_SPECIAL can't work. Two reasons:
1. Not all arch have HAVE_PTE_SPECIAL set. So always need another way to
handle the arch which has no PTE_SPECIAL.
2. _PAGE_SPECIAL is just for PTE now. If want to add it for huge page,
we need to introduce pmd_mkspecial() thing which I don't think it's
worth to do now (unless you want it. :)).

Yes. We could move the check to vm_normal_page(). But it still needs
export functions from huge_memory.c.

Please check the new patch.

Done.

A new function is_huge_zero_pfn() is added to mm/huge_memory.c
and exported.

Thanks.
