Add a helper, lookup_address_in_mm(), to traverse the page tables of a given mm struct. KVM will use the helper to retrieve the host mapping level, e.g. 4k vs. 2mb vs. 1gb, of a compound (or DAX-backed) page without having to resort to implementation specific metadata. E.g. KVM currently uses different logic for HugeTLB vs. THP, and would add a third variant for DAX-backed files.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
