The pmd_none check does not catch hugepage collapse, nor does the
pmd_present check in pmd_trans_huge, because hugepage collapse sets
!_PAGE_PRESENT && _PAGE_INVALID (which results in !pmd_none and
pmd_present).

Aneesh noticed we might need this check as well.

I can't see anything that would build fail on other subarches. Wouldn't 
be better to use

if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64) && (pmd_val(pmd) &

Maybe using pmd_raw() instead as in all the book3s64 helpers ?
