Note that I kept this API from Nanyong for the sake of discussion.
What I actually plan to test in our production is:

#define vmemmap_update_pte_range_start vmemmap_update_pte_range_start
static inline void vmemmap_update_pte_range_start(pte_t *pte,
                                                  unsigned long start,
unsigned long end)
{
        preempt_disable();
        pause_remote_cpus();

        for (; start != end; start += PAGE_SIZE, pte++)
                pte_clear(&init_mm, start, pte);

        flush_tlb_kernel_range(start, end);
}

#define vmemmap_update_pte_range_end vmemmap_update_pte_range_end
static inline void vmemmap_update_pte_range_end(void)
{
        resume_remote_cpus();
        preempt_enable();
}
