Hi Cristophe,

I'm focusing on the most relevant enterprise architectures for now. I
don't have the capacity to convert each and every architecture at this
point (especially, I don't to waste my time in case this doesn't get
merged, and book3e didn't look straight forward to me).

Once this series hits upstream, I can look into other architectures --
and I'll be happy if other people jump in that have more familiarity
with the architecture-specific swp pte layouts.

Thanks
