Good catch. Do you test it or just doubt about it by reviewing the code? bit 12 _PAGE_HGLOBAL_SHIFT is already used by pmd entry. There should be problem also.

if you worry about it, pmd_pfn should be something like x86
static inline pmdval_t pmd_pfn_mask(pmd_t pmd)
{
        if (native_pmd_val(pmd) & _PAGE_PSE)
                return PHYSICAL_PMD_PAGE_MASK;
        else
                return PTE_PFN_MASK;
}

However I think forcefully using bit  60 is not good way. It solves one issue and brings out another problem.

Bibo, Mao
