In general?
In general, after I learned that pmd_bad() fires on perfectly fine
pmd_large() entries, which makes things like pmd_none_or_clear_bad()
absolutely dangerous to use in code where we could have THPs ...
Consequently, we stopped using them in THP code, so what's the whole
point of having them ...
Or not a big fan of the fact that every architecture has their own
(mostly) copied-and-pasted set?
Well, that most certainly as well :)
