Ah here I remember I kept this arm definition there because I think we
should add a patch to drop pmd_thp_or_huge() completely.  If you won't mind
I can add one more patch instead of doing it here.  Then I keep this patch
purely as a replacement patch without further changes on arch-cleanups.

I think it should apply to all.

This is an extra safety check that I didn't remove.  Devmap used separate
bits even though I'm not clear on why.  It should still imply a leaf though.
