    Hmmmm?

    free_pgd_range is not generally called directly for hugetlb mappings.
    There is a wrapper hugetlb_free_pgd_range which can have architecture
    specific implementations. It makes me wonder if these lower level
    routines can be directly used on hugetlb mappings. My 'guess' is that any
    such details will be hidden in the callers. Suspect this will become clear
    in later patches.
