+ * walk_page_range_novma - walk a range of pagetables not backed by a vma
+ * @mm:		mm_struct representing the target process of page table walk
+ * @start:	start address of the virtual address range
+ * @end:	end address of the virtual address range
+ * @ops:	operation to call during the walk
+ * @pgd:	pgd to walk if different from mm->pgd
+ * @private:	private data for callbacks' usage
+ *
  * Similar to walk_page_range() but can walk any page tables even if they are
  * not backed by VMAs. Because 'unusual' entries may be walked this function
  * will also not lock the PTEs for the pte_entry() callback. This is useful for
