Can't address point to something else than first page in huge page ?
Also i did use end as an optimization ie maybe not all the pte in the
range are valid and thus they not all need to be invalidated hence by
tracking the last one that needs invalidation i am limiting the range.

But it is a small optimization so i am not attach to it.
