One of the problem I saw was that if I put this code in asm/pgtable-32.h and asm/pgtable-64.h then pte_persent() and other friend function (on which this code depends) are defined in pgtable.h. And pgtable.h includes asm/pgtable-32.h and asm/pgtable-64.h before it defines pte_present() and friends functions.
Ok I move wove this in asm/pgtable*.h, initially I fought with myself to take this code in pgtable* but finally end up doing here (got biased by book3s :)).
Thanks
