Is that the best solution ?

If I understand correctly, it is only needed for 
pmd_user_accessible_page(). Why not provide a stub 
pmd_user_accessible_page() that returns false on those architectures ?

Same for pud_user_accessible_page()

But if you decide to keep it I think that:
- It should be squashed with following patch to make it clear it's 
needed for that only.
- Remove the WARN_ONCE().
- Only have a special one for books/64 and a generic only common to he 3 
others.
