mk_pmd() is provided on 32-bit ARM LPAE, which also sets
HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, so this should be fine.

If the intention is to test p4d_same(), is this really a sufficient test?

32-bit ARM sets __PAGETABLE_PMD_FOLDED so this is not a concern.

This really isn't going to be happy on 32-bit non-LPAE ARM. Here, a
PMD is a 32-bit entry which is expected to be _within_ a proper PGD,
where a PGD is 16K in size, consisting of pairs of PMDs.

So, pmd_clear() expects to always be called for an _even_ PMD of the
pair, and will write to the even and following odd PMD. Hence, the
above will scribble over the stack of this function.

This too has the same expectations on 32-bit non-LPAE ARM.
