I'm a bit worried because I gave some feedback in the past but it didn't
make to this patch.

What I said on 22nd of January:

  The condition above is always false since pgd_index() already ands the
  index with (PTRS_PER_PGD - 1). Better check addr against something like
  (PTRS_PER_PGD * PGDIR_SIZE) (for clarity, you could do other shifts,
  doesn't really matter).
