pmd/pud_populate is the right interface to be used to set the respective
page table entries. Some architectures do assume that set_pmd/pud_at
can only be used to set a hugepage PTE. Since we are not setting up a hugepage
PTE here, use the pmd/pud_populate interface.

Since you did the audit, it might be nice to record which architectures
that are. Also, how much work to fix them?

I didn't audit them completely primarily because I don't follow the page 
table format of other archs. But I guess arm64, s390 appears to make 
that assumption.

Moreover set_pmd_at was added as part of THP patch series.

BTW why should we fix those architectures ? isn't pmd_populate the right 
interface for updating pmd entries other than hugepage pte ?
