Please can you rewrite this describing the problem that you're solving,
rather than a brief summary of some requirements?

Just some stylistic stuff, but please can you rewrite this as:

if (!pud_present(pud) || VM_WARN_ON(!pud_table(pud)))
return 1;

similarly for the pmd/pte code above.

Could you rename entry -> pmdp, please?

So with these patches, we only ever return 1 from these helpers. It looks
like the same is true for x86, so how about we make them void and move the
calls inside the conditionals in lib/ioremap.c? Obviously, this would be a
separate patch on the end.
