Overall looks good to me.

Would be nicer if we could left the arch code untouched.
I wanted to see how this would be if we go down that road and focus only
on 8xx at the risk of being more esoteric.
pmd_pte_leaf_size() is a name of hell, but could be replaced
with __pte_leaf_size for example.

Worth it? Maybe not, anyway, just wanted to give it a go:

I like the idea, it doesn't look that bad after all, it avoids changes
to other arches.
