I think the safest would be to define pmd_pfn where it's missing. Then
the whole pmd_pfn(), pmd_page() and pmd_page_vaddr() can be cleaned up on
top, but this won't block folio work.
I've baked a patch that defines pmd_pfn() based on pmd_page_vaddr() or pmd_page()
definition. With pmd_pfn() defined we won't need special care for THP or
!THP cases and PMD is always there even if it's called PGD sometimes.
