It would be nice to have some clue about when each of these functions
are called (depth first? pre or post order?), and what their params
are. Does it call a callback for folded pagetable levels?
Can pte_hole be used to create new mappings while we're traversing the
pagetable? Apparently not, because it continues after calling it.

Should this be (pte, addr, addr+PAGE_SIZE, private)? Is the second addr
argument for the address range being mapped by this thing? Why pass
addr twice?

It calls a callback for every level of the pagetable.
