I think that if pmd_huge() and pud_huge() return true for non-present
pmd/pud entries, that's OK. Otherwise we need update to support the
new feature.

In aarch64, the bits in pte/pmd/pud related to {pmd,pud}_present() and
{pmd,pud}_huge() seem not to overlap with the bit range for swap type
and swap offset, so maybe that's fine. But I recommend to test with
arm64 if you have access to aarch64 servers.
