I'd gathered ia64 has this "region" concept, from what I can tell the existing p?d_present() etc macros are assuming a particular configuration of a region, and so the p?d_large macros would follow that scheme. This of course does limit any generic page walking code to dealing only with this one type of region, but that doesn't seem unreasonable. > Is the series in some GIT tree that I can pull, rather > than tracking down all 34 pieces?

In the meantime you can download the entire series as a mbox from patchwork: https://patchwork.kernel.org/series/85673/mbox/ (it's currently based on v5.0-rc6) However you won't see anything particularly interesting on ia64 (yet) because my focus has been converting the PTDUMP implementations that several architecture have (arm, arm64, powerpc, s390, x86) but not ia64. For now I've also only done the PTDUMP work for arm64/x86 as a way of testing out the idea. Ideally the PTDUMP code can be made generic enough that implementing it for other architecture (including ia64) will be trivial.
