I guess my series did two things:
1. move page table walking to the walk_page_range() code
2. make new walk handler that can take arbitrarily-sizes ptes

This does (1) quite nicely and has some nice code savings.  I still
think (2) has some value, and like my approach, but this is definitely a
step in the right direction.
