Make use of the new functionality in walk_page_range to remove the
arch page walking code and use the generic code to walk the page tables.

The effective permissions are passed down the chain using new fields
in struct pg_state.

The KASAN optimisation is implemented by including test_p?d callbacks
which can decide to skip an entire tree of entries

This blows up because PGD_LEVEL_MULT is sometimes not a constant.

This is very unhelpful of GCC - it's actually PTRS_PER_P4D which isn't
constant!

I don't know what to do about this so I'll drop the series.
My best solution to this is to simply make ptdump_ranges dynamic (see
below). But there are other problems with this series (thanks for
spotting them), so I'll send out another version later.

Thanks,

Steve
