Not sure pXd_addr_end_folded() is the best understandable name, 
allthough I don't have any alternative suggestion at the moment.
Maybe could be something like pXd_addr_end_fixup() as it will disappear 
in the next patch, or pXd_addr_end_gup() ?

Also, if it happens to be acceptable to get patch 2 in stable, I think 
you should switch patch 1 and patch 2 to avoid the step through 
pXd_addr_end_folded()

What does 'rste' stands for ?

Isn't this line a bit long ?
