Hugh, please review this version instead of the old one. I like my locking mechanism for unsharing on this one a lot better. It works on an address range instead of depending on a vma, which more closely reflects the way it's used. The first patch just standardizes the pxd_page/pxd_page_kernel macros for all architectures. The second patch is the heart of shared page tables. This version of the patches is against 2.6.17-rc3.
