On arm (ARMv7 with LPAE) we don't have hardware updates of the
access/dirty bits, so a generic implementation would suffice. I didn't
find one in your patches, so here's an untested version:

static inline pmd_t pmdp_establish(struct mm_struct *mm, unsigned long address,
pmd_t *pmdp, pmd_t pmd)
{
pmd_t old_pmd = *pmdp;
set_pmd_at(mm, address, pmdp, pmd);
return old_pmd;
}
