We want to make use of pte_next_pfn() outside of set_ptes(). Let's simpliy define PFN_PTE_SHIFT, required by pte_next_pfn().

I think this is buggy. And so is the arm64 implementation of set_ptes(). It
works fine for 48-bit output address, but for 52-bit OAs, the high bits are not
kept contigously, so if you happen to be setting a mapping for which the
physical memory block straddles bit 48, this won't work.
Today, only the 64K base page config can support 52 bits, and for this,
OA[51:48] are stored in PTE[15:12]. But 52 bits for 4K and 16K base pages is
coming (hopefully v6.9) and in this case OA[51:50] are stored in PTE[9:8].
Fortunately we already have helpers in arm64 to abstract this.
So I think arm64 will want to define its own pte_next_pfn():
#define pte_next_pfn pte_next_pfn
static inline pte_t pte_next_pfn(pte_t pte)
{
return pfn_pte(pte_pfn(pte) + 1, pte_pgprot(pte));
}
I'll do a separate patch to fix the already broken arm64 set_ptes() implementation.
I'm not sure if this type of problem might also apply to other arches?
