Certainly something like that would have satisified this sanity test use
case. I will note that mm_account_fault() would need some help to figure
out the size of the page table entry that got installed. Maybe
extensions to vm_fault_reason to add VM_FAULT_P*D? That compliments
VM_FAULT_FALLBACK to indicate whether, for example, the fallback went
from PUD to PMD, or all the way back to PTE.
Then use cases like this could just add a dynamic probe in
mm_account_fault(). No real need for a new tracepoint unless there was a
use case for this outside of regression testing fault handlers, right?
