( So this patch is not directly related to gbpages, but while reading 
  arch/x86/mm/init.c I could not resist ... )

=======================>

The initialization of these two arrays is a bit difficult to follow:
restructure it optically so that a 2D structure shows which bit in
the PTE is set and which not.

Also improve on comments a bit.

No code or data changed:

  # arch/x86/mm/init.o:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   4585     424   29776   34785    87e1 init.o.before
   4585     424   29776   34785    87e1 init.o.after

md5:
