This still puzzles me. And the only reason it compiles is because we
have -fno-strict-aliasing set ...

All this operates on the pteval or even just on the pte_flags(). Even
the new arch_pte_access_permitted() thingy which you add later is only
interrested in pte_flags() and its just a wrapper around
__pkru_allows_pkey().

So for readability and simplicity sake, can we please do something
like this (pkey check already added):

/*
 * 'pteval' can reall be a pte, pmd or pud.  We only check
 * _PAGE_PRESENT, _PAGE_USER, and _PAGE_RW in here which
 * are the same value on all 3 types.
 */
static inline int pte_allows_gup(unsigned long pteval, int write)
{
	unsigned long mask = _PAGE_PRESENT|_PAGE_USER;

	if (write)
		mask |= _PAGE_RW;

	if ((pteval & mask) != mask)
		return 0;

	if (!__pkru_allows_pkey(pte_flags_pkey(pteval), write))
	   	return 0;
	return 1;
}

and at the callsites do:

    if (pte_allows_gup(pte_val(pte, write))

    if (pte_allows_gup(pmd_val(pmd, write))

    if (pte_allows_gup(pud_val(pud, write))

Hmm?
