From: "Barry Song (Xiaomi)" <baohua@kernel.org> Allow arch_vmap_pte_range_map_size to batch across multiple CONT_PTE blocks, reducing both PTE setup and TLB flush iterations. For CONT_PTE_SIZE-aligned ranges, return a mapping size that may cover multiple CONT_PTE blocks, capped below PMD_SIZE. These sizes are vmalloc mapping spans, not HugeTLB hstate sizes.

Capped below PMD_SIZE? It is half of PMD_SIZE. Where is that limitation
comes from? I think the commit message should be improved in that sense.
