Why not? What exactly do you need to get here?

So the way I understand it is, you want to map the faulting address to a
RMP entry. And that is either the 2M PMD entry when the page is a 1G one
and the 4K PTE entry when the page is a 2M one?

Why doesn't pmd_index() work?

Also, why isn't the lookup function's signature:

int snp_lookup_rmpentry(unsigned long address, int *level)

and all that logic to do the conversion to a PFN also not in it?

Thx.
