Yet in the next patch you use a struct kvm_pgtable_pgt not initialized by any of
the kvm_pgtable_*_init() functions. It doesn't hurt correctness, but it might
confuse potential users of this function.

kvm_pgtable_walk() already aligns addr down to PAGE_SIZE, I don't think that's
needed here. But not harmful either.

Otherwise, the patch looks good to me:
