Just like pte_{set,clear}_flags() their PMD and PUD counterparts should not do any address translation. This was outright wrong under Xen (causing a dead boot with no useful output on "suitable" systems), and produced needlessly more complicated code (even if just slightly) when paravirt was enabled.
