We support hugepage faults in gpu drivers since recently, and I'm not
seeing a pud_mkhugespecial anywhere. So not sure this works, but probably
just me missing something again.
It means ioremap can't create an IO page PUD, it has to be broken up.
Does ioremap even create anything larger than PTEs?
From my reading, yes. See ioremap_try_huge_pmd().
