That doesn't sound too bad. Except, please don't call it a "page table
format". The format of the page tables does not change with LAM. It's
entirely how the CPU interprets addresses that changes.
I guess someone could make an argument that, with LAM, there is a "hole"
that can't be filled in and _that_ constitutes a format change, but
that'd be a stretch.
The thing that matters when LAM is on is that some CPU might be stashing
addresses somewhere that only have meaning when you interpret them with
LAM rules. That's really a property of the mm, not of the page tables.
Oh, and please don't call things "INTEL_WHATEVER". It looks silly and
confuses the heck out of people when a second CPU vendor needs to use
the same code.
