kernel only; I can add a comment noting this.

In principle pud_sect() should be okay, because we say that XPFO
doesn't support section mappings yet. I'll add a check for pud_bad().
However, Christoph suggested that we move this to common code and
there it won't be okay.

It does, I'll add this (as a WARN() and then no-op), thanks.

I don't think we can, since on x86 it uses smp functions, and in some
cases those aren't safe.
