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.

It might make sense to s/final/leaf/, but otherwise that's a great
definition!

I'm not sure if we need this part, since we don't mention
p?d_trans_huge(), etc, but either way:
