I was trying to avoid duplicating the PUD allocation by reusing the
functionality in stage2_get_pmd().

Does the below updated comment help?

	/*
	 * While dirty page logging - dissolve huge PUD, it'll be
	 * allocated in stage2_get_pmd().
	 */

The other option is to duplicate the stage2_pud_none() case from
stage2_get_pmd() here.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Punit
