The intent of these three patches is to add extra checks to the pgtable_bytes accounting function. If applied incorrectly the expected result would be warnings like this: BUG: non-zero pgtables_bytes on freeing mm: 16384 The change Linus worried about affects the __PAGETABLE_PxD_FOLDED defines. These defines are used with #ifdef, #ifndef, and __is_defined() for the new mm_p?d_folded() macros.
