Steve,

Thanks for pointing this out.  I changed it to allow for different
values for CONT_PTES and CONT_PMDS.  As you say, that should
make it easier to merge with the 16K granule support.

Right, this was not correct.  The problem was that on process exit,
it was only clearing the first PTE in each contiguous block.  The other
15 (or 31) would still be non-zero and get reported as "bad" on the
console.  Fixing huge_ptep_get_and_clear() solved that problem and
made this hack to pmd_bad() unnecessary.

Ok, I've changed it as you suggested.

I agree, it's better this way.  I moved all this stuff out of 
huge_pte_alloc()
and into set_huge_pte_at().

I left these as separate functions but made them inline in pgtable.h
to follow Jeremy Linton's patch for the kernel linear mappings.

It turned out to be unnecessary to override follow_huge_pmd/pud.
