I think I see a bug.  No idea if it's the one you're hitting ;-)

I had been intending to not use the 'entry' to decide whether we were
waiting on a 2MB or 4kB page, but rather the xas.  I shelved that idea,
but not before dropping the DAX_PMD flag being passed from the PMD
pagefault caller.  So if I put that back ...
