A bit of a nit, but this list is (intended to be) organised alphabetically.
Could you please try to retain that?

i.e. place this between ARCH_SUPPORTS_NUMA_BALANCING and
ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION.

Is this intended for kernel VAs, user VAs, or both?

There are different constraints for fiddling with either (e.g. holding
mmap_sem), so we should be clear regarding the intended use-case.

What if it's not none, but not a table?

I think we chould check pud_sect() here, and/or pud_bad().

Likewise.

Given this expects a pte, it might make more sense to call this
lookup_address_pte() to make that clear.

We can get NULL from lookup_address(), so this doesn't look right.

If NULL implies an error, drop a BUG_ON(!pte) before the set_pte.

unsigned long size = PAGE_SIZE << order;

... and this can be simpler.

I haven't brought myself back up to speed, so it might not be possible, but I
still think it would be preferable for XPFO to call flush_tlb_kernel_range()
directly.

Thanks,
