s/generic/common - as generic might be misleading for being generic MM.

Makes sense.

Right

__ptep_get_and_clear() refactoring does not seem to be related to the
previous __set_ptes(). Should they be separated out into two different
patches instead - for better clarity and review ? Both these clean ups
have enough change and can stand own their own.

So address got dropped and page size got added as an argument.
s/___set_ptes/___set_pxds ? to be more generic for all levels.

This is where the new page table check APIs get used for batch testing.

Although currently there is no pudp_huge_get_and_clear() helper on arm64
reworked ___ptep_get_and_clear() will be able to support that as well if
and when required as it now supports PUD_SIZE page size.
