I couldn't find the invalidate_range_free_pages callback. Is that a left over 
from a previous version of the patch?

Also, I think that you have to invalidate the secondary PTEs of the range being 
unmapped immediately, because put_page may be called immediately after the 
invalidate_range_start returns.
