Probably no way to test it from anyone yet, as I don't see aarch64 selects
HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD, which means IIUC this two lines (before
PUD being enabled on aarch64) won't be compiled.. which also matches with
the test results in the cover letter, that we only tried pmd on arm.

The patch will still be needed though for pmd to work.

I can draft a patch to change this, but considering arm's PUD support isn't
there anyway.. maybe I should instead draft a change to remove these as
they're dead code so far, and see if anyone would like to collect it.

Thanks for reporting this.  I'll prepare something soon and keep you
posted.
