I would suggest limiting this to powerpc for now and use

#ifndef MAX_PTRS_PER_PUD
#define MAX_PTRS_PER_PUD	PTRS_PER_PUD
#endif

style code in KASAN. It just keeps the change surface to a limited
value, till other arch's see value in migrating to support it.

How about reusing max

#define MAX_PTRS_PER_PTE  max(H_PTRS_PER_PTE, R_PTRS_PER_PTE)
#define MAX_PTRS_PER_PMD  max(H_PTRS_PER_PMD, R_PTRS_PER_PMD)
#define MAX_PTRS_PER_PUD  max(H_PTRS_PER_PUD, R_PTRS_PER_PUD)
