Hi Hugh,

Thanks for your patch!

In rare transient cases, not yet made possible, pte_offset_map() and
pte_offset_map_lock() may not find a page table: handle appropriately.

Restructure cf_tlb_miss() with a pte_unmap() (previously omitted)
at label out, followed by one local_irq_restore() for all.
That's a bug fix, which should be a separate patch?

If the absence of a pte is to become a non-abnormal case, it should
probably jump to "end" instead, to avoid spamming the kernel log.

Is this also a bugfix, not mentioned in the patch description?
