I *think* your assumption that a folio will never be bigger than PMD size is ok.
(I'm guessing page cache never allocates bigger folios than that?).

But its a bad assumption to assume folios are always mapped in a naturally
aligned manner. mremapping a thp will cause non-natural alignment. User space
requesting a file (that is in a large folio in pagecache) to be mapped to
arbitrary (page-aligned) address will do that.
