Yes, I will create one.  Most likely just a #define.

You are correct.  None of the code uses the return value.  I initially
thought some caller would use it.  But every caller wants/needs to
adjust the range if sharing is possible.  This is a really long name
but how about:

void adjust_range_if_pmd_sharing_possible(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
				unsigned long *start, unsigned long *end)

I'm open to other names and will update patch with suggestions.
