Hello John,

Yeah, it is bit non-trivial because v5 of the pgtable tests are still
on the latest linux-next (20191015 or 20191017). You will need to
revert the following patches.

1. mm/hugetlb: make alloc_gigantic_page() available for general use
2. mm/debug: add tests validating architecture page table helpers
3. mm-debug-add-tests-validating-architecture-page-table-helpers-fix

and apply the following patch (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11190213/)

1. hugetlbfs: don't access uninitialized memmaps in pfn_range_valid_gigantic()

After which this particular patch here will apply cleanly. Hope this helps.
