Re: [PATCH 7/9] KVM: arm64: Do not try to map PUDs when they are folded into PMD

Hi Marc,

Noticed this patch while catching up with the lists.

Marc Zyngier [off-list ref] writes:
quoted hunk
For the obscure cases where PMD and PUD are the same size
(64kB pages with 42bit VA, for example, which results in only
two levels of page tables), we can't map anything as a PUD,
because there is... erm... no PUD to speak of. Everything is
either a PMD or a PTE.

So let's only try and map a PUD when its size is different from
that of a PMD.

Good catch!
Missed the 64kb / 42b VA case while adding the initial support.

Thanks for fixing it.
