From: Peter Xu <peterx@xxxxxxxxxx> Currently there should have no p4d swap entries so it may not matter much, however this may help us to rule out swap entries in pXd_huge() API, which will include p4d_huge(). The p4d_present() checks make it 100% clear that we won't rely on p4d_huge() for swap entries.
