Just like regular pages, page directories need to observe the following order: 1) unhook 2) TLB invalidate 3) free to ensure it is safe against concurrent accesses. Since Alpha has page based PMDs, no software walkers and IPI based TLB invalidation, it can use the simple tlb_remove_page() based freeer.
