Thanks for the testing, I can only reproduce this on my ARM64 platform
which the CPU will cache the PMD in TLB, from my knowledge, only Cortex-A75
will do this, so ARM64 platforms which are not A75 based can't be reproduced
either.

Catalin, Will, I can reproduce this issue in about 3 minutes with following
simplified test case [1], and can trigger panic as [2], could you take a look
as well?

Thanks for the confirm.

Yes, As I said in my patch, this is just RFC, comments are welcomed :)
