With 2M PMD-level mapping, we require 32 struct pages and a single vmemmap page
can contain 1024 struct pages (PAGE_SIZE/sizeof(struct page)). Hence with 64K
page size, we don't use vmemmap deduplication for PMD-level mapping.

This is in preparation to update radix to implement vmemmap optimization for
devdax. Below are the rules w.r.t radix vmemmap mapping
1. First try to map things using PMD (2M)
2. With altmap if altmap cross-boundary check returns true, fall back to
PAGE_SIZE
3. IF we can't allocate PMD_SIZE
This is enabled only with radix translation and 1G hugepage size. This will be
used with devdax device memory with a namespace alignment of 1G.
Anon transparent hugepage is not supported even though we do have helpers
