Nit, s/useless/now-unused, or "no longer used". I associate "useless" in shortlogs as "this <xyz> is pointless and always has been pointless", whereas "now-unused" is likely to be interpreted as "remove <xyz> as it's no longer used after recent changes". Alternatively, can this patch be squashed with the patch that removes mmu_pages_clear_parents()? Yeah, it'll be a (much?) larger patch, but leaving dead code behind is arguably worse.
