I'm not sure it's an issue, but strictly speaking, size of page according
to page table tree doesn't mean pagewalk would fill TLB entry of the size.
CPU may support 1G pages in page table tree without 1G TLB at all.

IIRC, current Intel CPU still don't have any 1G iTLB entries and fill 2M
iTLB instead.
