I have no objections to improving this (although I just submitted a patch
that modifies this area, so this will have to be updated now).

I stayed away from using PAGE_SIZE directly because other areas/files used
the sizeof() * PTRS_PER_ and I was trying to be consistent. Not that the
size of a page table is ever likely to change, but maybe defining a macro
(similar to the one in mm/pgtable.c) would be best rather than using
PAGE_SIZE directly.  Not required, just my opinion.

It all looks reasonable, but I won't be able to test for the next few
days, though.
