Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] mm, x86: Document return values of mapping funcs

Document the return values of KVA mapping functions,
pud_set_huge(), pmd_set_huge, pud_clear_huge() and
pmd_clear_huge().

Simplify the conditions to select HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP
in the Kconfig, since X86_PAE depends on X86_32.

There is no functional change in this patch.
