How about replacing other archs' arch-dependent code with new functions?

  [~/dev]$ find arch/ -name "hugetlbpage.c" | xargs grep pte_page
  arch/s390/mm/hugetlbpage.c:             pmd_val(pmd) |= pte_page(pte)[1].index;
  arch/powerpc/mm/hugetlbpage.c:  page = pte_page(*ptep);
  arch/powerpc/mm/hugetlbpage.c:  head = pte_page(pte);
  arch/x86/mm/hugetlbpage.c:      page = &pte_page(*pte)[vpfn % (HPAGE_SIZE/PAGE_SIZE)];
  arch/ia64/mm/hugetlbpage.c:     page = pte_page(*ptep);
  arch/mips/mm/hugetlbpage.c:     page = pte_page(*(pte_t *)pmd);
  arch/tile/mm/hugetlbpage.c:     page = pte_page(*(pte_t *)pmd);
  arch/tile/mm/hugetlbpage.c:     page = pte_page(*(pte_t *)pud);
  [~/dev]$ find arch/ -name "hugetlbpage.c" | xargs grep pte_present
  arch/s390/mm/hugetlbpage.c:     if (pte_present(pte)) {
  arch/sparc/mm/hugetlbpage.c:    if (!pte_present(*ptep) && pte_present(entry))
  arch/sparc/mm/hugetlbpage.c:    if (pte_present(entry))
  arch/tile/mm/hugetlbpage.c:     if (!pte_present(*ptep) && huge_shift[level] != 0) {
  arch/tile/mm/hugetlbpage.c:             if (pte_present(pte) && pte_super(pte))
  arch/tile/mm/hugetlbpage.c:     if (!pte_present(*pte))

Thanks,
