Can we have something like a pmd_can_set_huge() helper? Then we could
avoid pointless modification and TLB invalidation work when
pmd_set_huge() will fail.

	if (ioremap_pmd_enabled() &&
	    ((next - addr) == PMD_SIZE) &&
	    IS_ALIGNED(phys_addr + addr, PMD_SIZE) &&
	    pmd_can_set_huge(pmd, phys_addr + addr, prot)) {
	    	// clear entries, invalidate TLBs, and free tables
		...
		continue;

	}
