It might also be worth pointing out the reasons for this naming, e.g.
p?d_large() aren't currently generic, and this name minimizes potential
confusion between p?d_{large,huge}().
Agreed. But these fallback also need to first check non-availability of large
pages. 
We're deliberately not making the p?d_large() helpers generic, so this
shouldn't fall back on those.
I meant non-availability of large page support in the MMU HW not just the
presence of p?d_large() helpers.
