I have to say I find the compound version of HMM_NEED_WRITE_FAULT
way harder to understand than the logic in the previous version,
and would refer keeping separate bits here.

Mostly beccause of statements like this:

> +	if ((required_fault & HMM_NEED_WRITE_FAULT) == HMM_NEED_WRITE_FAULT) {

which seems rather weird.
