I assume you will take this patch into your tree? If so:

Yes, the pte_pages[] array in this routine is 2KB currently. Currently we
ship with 64KB pagesize, so the kernel stack has plenty of room. I do like
that your patch removes this buffer, however, since we're currently looking
into (re-)supporting 4KB pages, which would totally blow the kernel stack
in this routine.
