Implement pud_free_pmd_page() and pmd_free_pte_page() on x86, which
clear a given pud/pmd entry and free up lower level page table(s).
Address range associated with the pud/pmd entry must have been purged
by INVLPG.
OK, now we have implementations which match the naming ;) Again, is a
cc:stable warranted?
Right. This patch 2/2 fixes the memory leak on x86.

Fixes: e61ce6ade404e ("mm: change ioremap to set up huge I/O mappings")

Patch 1/2 fixes the panic on arm64.

Fixes: 324420bf91f60 ("arm64: add support for ioremap() block mappings")
Do you have any preferences/suggestions as to which tree these should
be merged through?  You're hitting core, arm and x86.
No, I do not have any preference.

Thanks,
