walk_page_range() is going to be allowed to walk page tables other than those of user space. For this it needs to know when it has reached a 'leaf' entry in the page tables. This information will be provided by the p?d_large() functions/macros.
I can't remember whether or not I asked this before, but why not call this macro p?d_leaf() if that's what it's identifying? "Large" and "huge" are usually synonymous, so I find this naming needlessly confusing based on this patch in isolation.
