Since 48684a65b4e3: "mm: pagewalk: fix misbehavior of walk_page_range
for vma(VM_PFNMAP)", page_table_walk() will report any kernel area as
a hole, because it lacks a vma.

This means each arch has re-implemented page table walking when needed,
for example in the per-arch ptdump walker.

Remove the requirement to have a vma except when trying to split huge
pages.

First off, these instructions don't work! make.cross attempts to
download a sparc toolchain.

However, the issue is actually quite easy to see if you look more
closely at patch 2:

> +#define pmd_leaf(x)                    (pmd_val(pmd) & _PAGE_HW_SZ)

That 'pmd' variable should really have been 'x'!

Below diff should fix this up - I'll repost with this squashed in shortly:
