entry doesn't have PTE_CONT bit set, that's correct. I intentionally strip that
bit at the interface boundary, because it is the implementation's job to decide
whether its a contpte block, not the caller's. But there are situations where
the caller can end up with a pte that has PTE_CONT set (by having done a
previous ptep_get() for example) and then it forwards the pte to a setter. So
stripping it is required; It would probably be cleaner to strip it before
returning it from ptep_get(), but that would be problematic for pte_leaf_size()
which is called from perf_get_pgtable_size().

In this particular case, __ptep_set_access_flags() only modifies the PTE's
access flags, so CONT_PTE will remain as it is in the page table. The fact that
entry has it cleared is not a problem.

Thanks,
Ryan
