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.

Those page table macro names are horrible. Large, huge, leaf, wtf?
They could do with a sensible renaming. But this series just follows
naming that's alreay there on x86.

Thanks,
Nick
