IMHO, we should rip out that code here and enforce page alignment in
vmemmap_populate()/vmemmap_free().
Am I missing something?
Thanks David for bringing this up, I must say I was not aware that this

When the size of a struct page is not multiple of 2MB, sections do
not span a PMD anymore and so when populating them some parts of the
PMD will remain unused.
Because of this, PMDs will be left behind when depopulating sections
since remove_pmd_table() thinks that those unused parts are still in
