Not functional issues. But I didn't see issues you mentioned in your
commit text being solved for ARM64 in your patches. It is just being
masked which they were already by Will's patch. In my approach, end
goal was to get benefits of huge mapping back for ARM64.

See my reply above. I just had my original patches and I sent it.

Yes, they are broken. I understood the issues after Mark and Marc's
review comments.

I have realized that if I address Mark's comments, my new patch will
look similar to what you have done. So, I will work on top of your
patches.
