Agreed! Thank you for your suggestion, I will modify it in the next version.

Yes, use update_mmu_tlb_range to implement update_mmu_tlb, we only need 
to define the update_mmu_tlb_range macro.

Thank you for your affirmation. Baolin’s "add mTHP support for anonymous 
shmem" series[1] can also use this function to simplify the code.
