[PATCH V3 5/8] x86: Introduce function to get pmd entry pointer

From: Juergen Gross
Date: Tue Nov 11 2014 - 00:44:53 EST


Introduces lookup_pmd_address() to get the address of the pmd entry
related to a virtual address in the current address space. This
function is needed for support of a virtual mapped sparse p2m list
in xen pv domains.
