Sorry, I missed it as well. Patch looks fine to me.However, I think /* 1GB  
Section*/ comment can be improved. Infact, other existing /* 1GB Section*/  
comment for PMD type is wrong.

May be we can write above comment like:
/* 1GB section for Page Table level = 4 and Page Size = 4KB*/

I think the other existing /* 1GB section */ comment for PMD_TYPE should be
/* 512MB section for Page Table level = 3 and Page Size = 64KB*/
