thanks for doing this - it fell off my radar.

The KVM names were presumably intended to abstract away the page size. In
practice, the abstraction is only useful for a single line of code, a PSE
paging related large page check. For everything else, the abstract names
do nothing but obfuscate the code.
Boot tested a PSE kernel under 32-bit KVM and 64-bit KVM, with and without
EPT enabled. Patches 2 and 3 generate no binary difference relative to
patch 1 when compared via "objdump -d".
