[PATCH] paravirt: pte clear not present

Browse Source 
Change pte_clear_full to a more appropriately named pte_clear_not_present,
allowing optimizations when not-present mapping changes need not be reflected
in the hardware TLB for protected page table modes.  There is also another
case that can use it in the fremap code.
