As I mentioned previously, I still think it makes more sense to expose
this via the pagetable dumping code.

Also, the EFI runtime pagetable code uses __create_mapping, and hence
alloc_init_{pud,pmd,pte}. This code doesn't seem to account for that, so it
looks like the values will be misleading.

This is never used. It can go.

Nit: please keep includes ordered alphabetically.

You can change this to >= 2 ...

.... and get rid of this line.
