I'm not familiar with riscv HW specs or the Linux implementation, so its hard
for me to say for sure. If your __ptep_set_access_flags() implementation is
writing all of entry to the PTE, then it looks like its probably wrong to me -
you will be writing the same PFN to every PTE in the contpte block. Certainly on
Arm that would be wrong.
On Arm, __ptep_set_access_flags() is just folding the access flags in entry into
the PTE without changing anything else. That's needed in order to deal with
racing HW updates of the access/dirty bits.
