It looks like most of what this patch does is move a bunch of
definitions from page.h to a new pgtable-types.h.  What is the
motivation for this?  Is the code identical (pure code movement) or do
you make changes along the way, and if so, what and why?

What exactly are you doing with real_pte_t and why?

Paul.
