To be honest, I don't like this which makes the code not that straight
forward. And when you look into the definition of pxd_addr_end(), they use the
format of ((addr + PXD_SIZE) & PXD_MASK) too.

I have another alternative to clean up this part with the help of
pmd_addr_end(). If you agree, I would like to append the following change in
next version to cleanup the next/extent staff especially.
