I tried to apply atop of the arm64 for-next/pgtable branch, but git
wasn't very happy about that -- which branch/patches is this based on?

I'm not sure if I'm missing something, have something I shouldn't, or if
my MTA is corrupting patches again...

The checks for pgtable_alloc is to allow create_mapping_noalloc to use
sections regardless, right?

I got a little confused by that initially, but that seems to make sense.

Perhaps we could pull out everything but the VMA checks into a static
__change_memory_common. Then we can call that directly in
__kernel_map_pages, and don't need to pass a confusing boolean
parameter.

Otherwise, this looks good to me.
