Please drop the PMD/PUD verbiage. That's specially confusing when

Drop this last sentence, it doesn't say anything that you haven't
already said.

I wouldn't make this "one level" assumption, as this really depends on
the size of what gets mapped (and future evolution of this code).

What guarantees that this new unlinked structure is kept in sync with
the original one? AFAICT, nothing does.

Is that always true? What if the caller expect a non-block-aligned
mapping? You should at least check that phys is aligned to the granule
size of 'level', or bad stuff may happen.

Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
