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..
The latest series I can find from Kan is still x86 specific. I'm happy
to rebase onto something else if Kan has an implementation already
(please point me in the right direction). Otherwise Kan is obviously
free to base on these changes.
