Hi Hugh,

No, not quite the same rules as before: I came to realize that using
list_add_tail() for the HH pages would be liable to put a page on the
list which forever blocked reuse of PP list_add_tail() pages after it
(could be solved by a list_move() somewhere, but we have agreed to
prefer simplicity).
Just to make things more clear for me: do I understand correctly that this
was an attempt to add HH fragments to pgtable_list from pte_free_defer()?

Thanks!
