Why are you printing the address of a struct page? What useful
information does this supply? Same question for the struct mm.
And the pmdp, for that matter.

You haven't said _why_ you want these tracepoints. So it's impossible
to suggest what you _should_ be doing, because what you _are_ doing
is obviously wrong.
