Subject: Re: [PATCH v4 03/10] sparc64: avoid huge kernel PUD mappings with small hardware pages

> The kernel PUD refill path merges virtual address bits 32:28 into a
> TTE, requiring hardware pages of at least 256MB. Sun4u instead selects
> 4MB pages, losing bits 27:22 when refilling a huge PUD. Sun4v also falls
> back to 4MB pages when neither 256MB nor 2GB pages are selected.
>
> Keep PMD mappings when the selected PUD encoding matches the small-page
> entry. The PMD refill path preserves the bits needed by the 4MB TTE;
> sun4v selections of 256MB or larger remain eligible for huge PUDs.
