Pagewalk ignores hugepd entries and walk down the tables
as if it was traditionnal entries, leading to crazy result.

Add walk_hugepd_range() and use it to walk hugepage tables.
I see you took patch 2 and 3 of the series.
Yeah I decided those were bug fixes so could be taken separately.
Do you expect Andrew to take patch 1 via mm tree, and then you'll take
patch 4 once mm tree is merged ?
I didn't feel I could take patch 1 via the powerpc tree without risking
conflicts.

Andrew could take patch 1 and 4 via mm, though he might not want to pick
them up this late.

I guess step one would be to repost 1 and 4 as a new series. Either they
can go via mm, or for 5.15 I could probably take them both as long as I
pick them up early enough.

cheers
