Can we move the reduce unncessary intermediate bitmaps as another patch?

Can we avoid reusing variables like that. I had to look at the change
below to ensure that this is intended change. The print below is wrong
then. In my patch series I did try to remove  potential_mask and compat
mask and used tmp_mask in its place. IMHO that resulted in much simpiler
code. I do recompute tmp_mask for 4K size because of lack of variable.
But then i guess with your change to cache mask for different page size,
it should not have an impact?
