Hi Christophe,

- u64 val)
+ u64 val, unsigned long page_size)
Compilers can warn about unused parameters at -Wextra level. However,
reading scripts/Makefile.extrawarn it looks like the warning is
explicitly _disabled_ in the kernel at W=1 and not reenabled at W=2 or
W=3. So I guess this is fine...
There are a lot lot lot functions having unused parameters in the kernel , especially the ones that
are re-implemented by each architecture.

I know it doesn't matter at this point, but I'm not really thrilled by
the idea of passing 0 as the size here. Doesn't the hole have a known
page size?
The hole has a size for sure, I don't think we can call it a page size:
On powerpc 8xx, we have 4 page sizes: 8M, 512k, 16k and 4k.
A page table will cover 4M areas and will contain pages of size 512k, 16k and 4k.
A PGD table contains either entries which points to a page table (covering 4M), or two identical
consecutive entries pointing to the same hugepd which contains a single PTE for an 8M page.
So, if a PGD entry is empty, the hole is 4M, it corresponds to none of the page sizes the
architecture supports.
But looking at what is done with that size, it can make sense to pass it to notepage() anyway. Let's
do that.
return 0;

I'm more OK with the idea of passing 0 as the size when the depth is -1
(don't know): if we don't know the depth we conceptually can't know the
page size.
