Will fix.

You are right. Above code has a problem for huge pte cases: it wouldn't detect
A huge pte for clear_pt case. I will fix it.

I will not make is_null be true for clear_pt case, but will make similar logic to
Let clear_pt benefit from is_null logic.

I don't quite get here. Please do let me know if you find anything.
