You could check for that explicitly, or you could just check for
presence of non-NULL hash64_opts.  The idea is that will always be the
case for cpus capable of using the hash MMU.

I'm also considering adding a similar radix_opts with radix specific
details.  POWER9 would have both, since it can support either mode.

It's not so that it's short of space.  It's more that the mix of enum
like pieces and bitflag like pieces like bits makes it confusing to
know whether it should be tested with simple equality or with &.  And
if testing with equality which bits should be masked for a sensible
comparison.

Additionally, I'd like to get options that are strictly related to the
hash mmu out of the general structures.
