Most if the paging/MMU code is also architecture specific which means that it resides in the arch/mm subfolders. I saw that there was a MM 101 presentation last week at the Open Source Summit [1], Unfortunatetly, it is quite high-level and most likelt uninterestting to you. But there is also a huge subsection in the official kernel documentation which has many references to the mm/ and arch/mm code [2].
