I think so.

Yes.

Yes I'll do that before.

You mean, in this context? Everywhere, pgtable deposit uses the old pmd
value to be replaced as its input, that is, it is called before set_pmd_at().
So calling pgtable deposit after clear_flush() will violate this ordering.
I do not think this ordering is really required but I'd rather be safe :)
