Nothing specific. Now I just tried using pud|pmd_sect() which looks good on multiple configs for 4K/16K/64K. Will migrate pmd|pud_large() to more arch specific pmd|pud_sect() which would also help in staying clear from your series. > > I'm also surprised by the CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVEL conditions as they don't > match the existing conditions for p?d_sect(). Might be worth double > checking it actually does what you expect. Right they are bit different. Surely will check. But if pmd|pud_sect() works out okay will probably go with it as its been there for sometime.
