Let me see if I can understand,
On most patches, it would be:

CPU 0                            CPU 1
------				--------------
				ptep = __find_linux_pte  
				(re-ordered at run time)
				atomic_inc(val) 
pmd_clear(pte)
smp_mb()
if (val)
    run_on_all_cpus(): IPI
                               local_irq_disable() 

                               if(ptep)
                                  pte = *ptep;

Is that what you meant?
