We also _tried_ to have the pagewalk code be concerned only with page tables and *NOT* VMAs. We lost that battle since 80% of the page walkers just pass the VMA along anyway. This does a few cleanups and adds a new flavor of walker which can be stupid^Wsimple and not have to be explicitly taught about THP.
