I was a bit confused about 'we return that PTE' when the function is of type
int. TBH, I am not a fan of the current scheme of passing in *hpte and having
the hpte modified by the function.

Since we are potentially populating lower level page tables, we may want a
different function name. It may just be me, but I think of walk as a read
only operation. I would suggest putting populate in the name, but as Peter
pointed out elsewhere, that has other implications. Sorry, I can not think
of something better right now.
