Yes, it's for THP, sorry it got into the wrong patch.  If your VMA is
not 2M aligned then there's no correlation between a THP in the process
page table being mapped on the PMD level and the same set of pages being
mapped in the stage-2 page tables and we simply bail from using THP and
map each page in a THP using individual page mappings.  (Note that this
doesn't break in any way, we just don't get the benefit of huge pages in
this case).
