I guess it just got missed out, but you are right, there seems to be a redundant
pte_mkhuge() in remove_migration_pte(), I will send out a patch dropping it off.

After this patch, arch_make_huge_pte() should be used instead in generic MM for
all cases. So you are suggesting arch_make_huge_pte() should be tested instead ?

I will send out a patch implementing the above changes. I guess pte_mkhuge() now
will just be a platform helper, which can be folded into arch_make_huge_pte() if
and when required.
