Hi Matt,

	This comment is worded badly: if the "entry is a pair" then "entry size
in bytes" would be 8 or 16.

Is min_t required here?  KPMSIZE is a sizeof() expression, so I'd expect
both sides to be type-compatible...

An explicit "struct kpagemap { unsigned long flags, count; };" would
simplify your iteration, clear up the code and get rid of the KPMSIZE &
KPMMASK macros.

But again I'd query the necessity of this cache page at all.

No cond_resched() needed here, either.

Cheers,
Rusty.
