Hi,

I dived into this part and noticed that both pmd_off_k() and 
virt_to_kpte() are broken.

For example, on a x86 platform, if the CPU has feature 'pdpe1gb', the 
kernel prefers 1G map. (cat /proc/meminfo | grep DirectMap to show the 
current mapping)

static inline pmd_t *pmd_off_k(unsigned long va)
{
         return pmd_offset(pud_offset(p4d_offset(pgd_offset_k(va), va), 
va), va);
}

There is no pud_none() & pud_large()(of cause, we can't use pud_large() 
here) to test *PUD* valid or not.

So I'm going to do:
- in pmd_off_k(), use pud_none() and pud_bad() to test *PUD*, if failed, 
BUG().
- in virt_to_kpte(), use pmd_none() & pmd_bad() to test *PMD*, if 
failed, BUG().
- rework KPTE test in unpoison_memory(), walk page table instead of 
useing virt_to_kpte().

Do you have any suggestions?
