The function name looks to me that it returns access flags of PTE.

Not sure whether it's worthy being changed to:

        bool dirty = false, young = false;

        for (i = 0; i < ncontig; i++, ptep++) {
                pte_t pte = ptep_get(ptep);

                if (pte_dirty(pte))
                        dirty = true;

                if (pte_young(pte))
                        young = true;

                if (dirty && young)
                        break;
        }

        if (dirty)
                orig_pte = pte_mkdirty(orig_pte);

        if (young)
                orig_pte = pte_mkyoung(orit_pte);

        return orig_pte;

Should be:
	return huge_ptep_get(ptep) ?
