Although that might be a safe default, it might carry consequences down the road?
It might not, but if we reach that, something went wrong, so I would put a
WARN_ON_ONCE at least.

You mentioned that we need to bail out otherwise only the first PxD would be
updated.
In the comment you say that mm will take care of making the page young
or dirty.
Does this mean that the PxDs underneath will not have its bits updated?
