Exposing the pud/pgd levels of the page tables to walk_page_range() means we may come across the exotic large mappings that come with large areas of contiguous memory (such as the kernel's linear map). For architectures that don't provide all p?d_leaf() macros, provide generic do nothing default that are suitable where there cannot be leaf pages at that level. Futher patches will add implementations for individual architectures. The name p?d_leaf() is chosen to minimize the confusion with existing uses of "large" pages and "huge" pages which do not necessary mean that the entry is a leaf (for example it may be a set of contiguous entries that only take 1 TLB slot). For the purpose of walking the page tables we don't need to know how it will be represented in the TLB, but we do need to know for sure if it is a leaf of the tree.
