It should show the full range of memory covered by the PGD's table.
Will fix, thanks!

ACTION_SUBTREE seems right, I will look into it. Something like (though
I'll check to see if it is correct and polish):

walk_action = (!pgd_leaf) ? ACTION_SUBTREE : ACTION_CONTINUE;
if ((IS_ENABLED(...) && !pgd_leaf()) || pgd_leaf())
st->note_page ...

Nice! Thank you for your feedback. I will iterate and also fix up the
other minor things, e.g. 72 character wrap in doc files.
