Thanks for your efforts.
I confirmed that this patch fixes the problem on v3.4-rc4.
But originally (before the commits you pointed to above) initializing
pagemap entries (originally labelled with confusing 'pfn') were done
in for-loop in pagemap_pte_range(), so I think it's better to get it
back to things like that.

How about the following?
