There is nothing 'wrong' with this patch, but it does make me wonder.
After introducing hugetlb_pte, is all code dealing with hugetlb mappings
going to be using hugetlb_ptes? It would be quite confusing if there is
a mix of hugetlb_ptes and non-hugetlb_ptes. This will be revealed later
in the series, but a comment about suture direction would be helpful
here.
