This is the v11 of the whole patchset. But this particular patch only
add 2 different version (v2 at the end of subject line). I do not bump
version of patches each time i rebase this seems pointless.

I use BUG(); to keep bisectability working. The core of this function
is implemented in a latter patch but this function is reference in
this one.

Yes i will remove this redundancy.

Good point.

Maybe hmm_swap_ptes is even better name in this context.

No, end is the right upper limit here.
