Exposing the pud/pgd levels of the page tables to walk_page_range() means
we may come across the exotic large mappings that come with large areas
of contiguous memory (such as the kernel's linear map).

For architectures that don't provide p?d_large() macros, provided a
does nothing default.
Kan was going to fix that for all archs I think..
