Yes, I'm still working on a generic function to retrieve page size.
The generic p?d_large() issue has been fixed. However, I found that the 
pgd_page() is not generic either. I'm still working on it.
I will update you on the other thread when all issues are fixed.

My implementation is similar as yours. I'm happy to re-base on your changes.

Could you please also add a generic p4d_large()?
