    ms/mm: select HAVE_MOVE_PMD on x86 for faster mremap
    
    Moving page-tables at the PMD-level on x86 is known to be safe.  Enable
    this option so that we can do fast mremap when possible.

    Patchset description:
    
    Patch "mm: speed up mremap by 20x on large regions" introduces
    optimization: when a moved region has source and destination addresses
    and size equal to multiple of PMD_SIZE; PTEs are not really copyed.
    Instead of this, new PMD pointer is changed to point to old PTEs, while
    old PMD is cleared.
    
    This may be useful, when CRIU remaps large memory areas on restore (but
    really, alignment to PMD_SIZE is not very often, though possible).
