Subject: [PATCH RFC 2/2] mm: add PMD-level huge page support for remap_pfn_range()

Add PMD-level huge page support to remap_pfn_range(), automatically
creating huge mappings when prerequisites are satisfied (size, alignment,
architecture support, etc.) and falling back to normal page mappings
otherwise.

Implement special huge PMD splitting by utilizing the pgtable deposit/
withdraw mechanism. When splitting is needed, the deposited pgtable is
withdrawn and populated with individual PTEs created from the original
huge mapping, using pte_clrhuge() to clear huge page attributes.

Update arch_needs_pgtable_deposit() to return true when PMD pfnmap
support is enabled, ensuring proper pgtable management for huge
pfnmap operations.
