Given the function is called walk_page_range(), I do wonder how much
insulation/abstraction from the page tables is actually required.

But I think in general we are on the same page. Feel free to put looking at this
quite a long way down your todo list, it's certainly not getting in anyone's way
right now. But given it tripped me up, it will probably trip more people up
eventually.

Thanks,
