So, the code talks about that the second case can only happen for
vmemmap, never for direct mappings.
I don't see a way how this could ever happen with current page sizes,
even with sub-section hotadd (2MB). Maybe that is a legacy leftover or
was never relevant? Or I am missing something important, where we could
have sub-4k-page vmemmap data.
