Yes, OK, the existing names are pretty generic

Techincally yes, but gcc demands them:

mm/hmm.c:146:22: warning: suggest parentheses around comparison in operand of '|' [-Wparentheses]
   if (required_fault == NEED_FAULT | NEED_WRITE_FAULT)
       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Probably because | vs || is a common confusion?

Actually this whole NEED_FAULT | WRITE_FAULT thing is silly, I'm going
to define NEED_WRITE_FAULT == NEED_FAULT | (1<<1) and add a
NEED_ALL_BITS to make this clear what this test is for (early loop
exit once there is no possible change to required_fault).

This is more readable, I reworked the comment too
