Hi Nicolas,

This appears to my patch which I originally posted as part of converting
x86/arm64 to use a generic page walk code[1]. I'm not sure that this
patch makes much sense on its own, in particular it was working up to
having a generic macro[2] which means the _large() macros could be used
across all architectures.

Also as a matter of courtesy please can you ensure the authorship
information is preserved when posting other people's patches (there
should be a From: line with my name on). You should also include your
own Signed-off-by: line (see submitting-patches[3]) after mine.

Apologies to anyone that has been following my patch series, I've been
on holiday so not actively working on it. My aim is to combine the
series with a generic ptdump implementation[4] which should improve the
diff state. I should be able to post that in the next few weeks.

Thanks,

Steve
