yes, this can be removed.

yes, I think we can handle this situation with the method you mentioned in the change log:
1. When removing memory, the page structs of the revmoved memory are filled
   with 0xFD.
2. All page structs are filled with 0xFD on PT/PMD, PT/PMD can be cleared.
   In this case, the page used as PT/PMD can be freed.

By the way, why is 0xFD?

That means system is out of memory, I will trigger a bug_on.
