I don't know how book3s/64 works exactly, but on nohash, when you get a 
TLB miss exception the only thing you have is the address and you don't 
know yes it is a hugepage so you get the PTE as if it was a 4k page and 
it is only when you read that PTE that you know it is a hugepage.

Ok, on book3s/64 the page size seems to be encoded inside the segment so 
maybe it is a bit different but anyway the TLB miss exception (or DSI ?) 
can happen at any address.

pte_offset_kernel() or pte_offset_map_lock() will land on any contiguous 
PTE based on the address handed to pte_index(), as if it was a standard 
(4k or 64k) page.

pte_index() doesn't know it is a hugepage, that's the reason why we need 
to duplicate the entry.
