hmm pud-entry callback locking?

Hi, Jerome,
I was asked by Kirill to try to unify the pagewalk pud_entry and
pmd_entry callbacks. The only user of the pagewalk pud-entry is
currently hmm.
But the pagewalk code call pud_entry only for huge puds with the
page-table lock held, whereas the hmm callback appears to assume it gets
called unconditionally without the page-table lock held?
Could you shed some light into this?
Thanks,
Thomas
