Subject: Re: [PATCH 06/12] sparc: add pte_free_defer() for pgtables sharing

sparc32 supports pagetables sharing a page, but does not support THP;
sparc64 supports THP, but does not support pagetables sharing a page.
So the sparc-specific pte_free_defer() is as simple as the generic one,
except for converting between pte_t *pgtable_t and struct page *.
The patch should be fine as posted (except its title is misleading).
