I don't think that I've tested this version of the patch, but ok.

I still think this one deserves a comment.

nit: "loop in" should just be loop. Also, I would not say that we may
be required to loop in the LPAE case, but that for LPAE we must loop
over all the PMDs for the given range.

This is not true for LPAE, so now when we're changing the comment, we
should be more specific.
