I've prepared a couple of commits to our arch code to make this work on s390, they will go upstream in the next merge window. After that, we can add s390 to the supported architectures. We had some issues, e.g. because we do not report large entries as bad in pxd_bad(), do not check for folded page tables in pxd_free(), or assume that primitives like pmd_mkdirty() will only be called after pmd_mkhuge(). None of those should have any impact on current code, but your test module revealed that we do not behave like other architectures in some aspects, and it's good to find and fix such things to prevent possible future issues. Thanks a lot for the effort! Regards, Gerald
