Documentation/cachetlb.txt will need an update as well.  Currently it says:

5) void update_mmu_cache(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
                         unsigned long address, pte_t *ptep)

I would prefer we introduce something like update_mmu_cache_huge_page(vma,
address, pmd) and leave the classic update_mmu_cache() unchanged.
