For systems that support > 48-bit PA, arm64 places high bits [51:48] of the PA
at a low position in the PTE. I think I've convinced myself that this is ok
though, because set_ptes() promises that the range is always within a single PMD
and therefore its guaranteed that we will not have ptes straddling both sides of
the 48 bit boundary for a single call?

Also, its not clear to me if set_ptes() could be called for a range of
not-present ptes? (i.e. clearing the pte-range or swap entries, etc). If so,
then I guess you would only want to increment the address if pte_present(pte)?
I'm guessing that batch-clearing ptes might appear in the near future so might
be sensible to support that now?

Regardless, a comment to make these assumptions clear would be useful.

Thanks,
Ryan
