What I mean here is that it's fine as a proof of concept ;-) I don't
like it being in a series aimed at upstream...
We can try to flush out the issues, but as it is, the patch isn't
upstreamable imho.
As for finding PTE bits, I have a few ideas we need to discuss, but
nothing simple I'm afraid.
Cheers,
Ben.
