Please mention that 2M on Intel, and 16M on Arm64.

How about also defining SECTION_ACTIVE_SHIFT like this:

/* BITS_PER_LONG = 2^6 */
#define BITS_PER_LONG_SHIFT 6
#define SECTION_ACTIVE_SHIFT (SECTION_SIZE_BITS - BITS_PER_LONG_SHIFT)
#define SECTION_ACTIVE_SIZE (1 << SECTION_ACTIVE_SHIFT)

The return above would become:
return (phys & ~(PA_SECTION_MASK)) >> SECTION_ACTIVE_SHIFT;

For some reasons the above code is confusing to me. It seems all the
code supposed to do is set all map_active to -1, and trim the first
and last sections (can be the same section of course). So, I would
replace the above two functions with one function like this:

void section_active_init(unsigned long pfn, unsigned long nr_pages)
{
        int end_sec = pfn_to_section_nr(pfn + nr_pages - 1);
        int i, idx, start_sec = pfn_to_section_nr(pfn);
        struct mem_section *ms;

        if (!nr_pages)
                return;

        for (i = start_sec; i <= end_sec; i++) {
                ms = __nr_to_section(i);
                ms->usage->map_active = ~0ul;
        }

        /* Might need to trim active pfns from the beginning and end */
        idx = section_active_index(PFN_PHYS(pfn));
        ms = __nr_to_section(start_sec);
        ms->usage->map_active &= (~0ul << idx);

        idx = section_active_index(PFN_PHYS(pfn + nr_pages -1));
        ms = __nr_to_section(end_sec);
        ms->usage->map_active &= (~0ul >> (BITS_PER_LONG - idx - 1));
}
