The PTE allocations in arm64 are identical to the generic ones modulo the

Using the generic pte_alloc_one() functions ensures that the user page
tables are allocated with __GFP_ACCOUNT set.
The arm64 definition of PGALLOC_GFP is removed and replaced with
GFP_PGTABLE_USER for p[gum]d_alloc_one() and for KVM memory cache.
The mappings created with create_pgd_mapping() are now using
GFP_PGTABLE_KERNEL.
The conversion to the generic version of pte_free_kernel() removes the NULL
check for pte.
The pte_free() version on arm64 is identical to the generic one and
can be simply dropped.

In efi_virtmap_init() we use pgd_alloc() to allocate a pgd for EFI
runtime services, which we map with a special kernel page table.
I'm not sure if accounting that is problematic, as it's allocated in a
kernel thread off the back of an early_initcall.
The accounting bypasses kernel threads so there should be no problem.
Just to check, Is that sound, or do we need a pgd_alloc_kernel()?
Thanks,
Mark.
