We do end up with invalid hpte with which we call
hpte_actual_psize. So that check is needed. I can either move to caller,
but then i will have to replicate it in all the call sites.

Yes. I guess we can safely assume that if penc is valid then we do
support that specific large page.

I will drop this and keep the penc check. That is more correct check

I don't know. Is BUG() the right thing to do ?

But we need to do psize lookup even if V_COMPARE fail, because we want
to do tlbie in both the case.

I thought about that, but re-coding avoided some repeated check. But
then, if I follow your review comments of avoiding hpte valid check etc, may
be I can reuse the hpte_actual_psize. Will try this.
