The extraction from smaps_pte_range() looks good.  What's the performance 
impact on very frequent consumers of /proc/pid/smaps, though, as the 
result of the calls throughout the iteration if smaps_pte_entry() doesn't 
get inlined (supposedly because you'll be reusing the extracted function 
again elsewhere)?

Is there a missing change to mm/huge_memory.c?
