This (and the backport to 4.9) are missing the fix from commit
e14d7dfb41f5 "x86/speculation/l1tf: Fix up pte->pfn conversion for
PAE", as that was applied earlier in the series.  But since PAE implies
only 3-level paging I don't know how the PUD functions get used or
whether this actually matters.

Excellent find.

e14d7dfb41f5 (re-)applies cleanly to both 4.4.y and 4.9.y. Since most of its
changes are already applied, the only remaining change is

diff --git a/arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h b/arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h

after cherry-picking it into both branches.

I think we should re-apply it to both 4.4.y and 4.9.y be on the safe side.

Thanks,
Guenter
