IMHO it's fine to be here, as this is the patch to finally drop _huge().
Patch 11 only converts the callers to use _leaf()s.  So this comment is
still valid until this patch, because this patch removes that definition.

I worry it will break things as pmd_leaf() can sometimes be defined after
arch *pgtable.h headers.  So I avoided touching it except what I think I'm
confident.  I had a feeling it's inlined just because of a similar reason
for the old _huge().

The 2nd/3rd paragraphs are definitely obsolete, so should be dropped.

OTOH, I'm not sure how much that will help if e.g. I move that over to
pmd_leaf(): a check over cpu_to_be64(_PAGE_PTE) is an implementation as
simple as it could be to explain itself with even no comment to me..

I also don't fully digest why that 1st paragraph discusses PGD entries: for
example, there's no pgd_huge() defined.  It may not mean that the comment
is wrong, perhaps it means that I may lack some knowledge around this area
on Power..

Would you suggest how I should move paragraph 1 (and help to explain what
it is describing)?  Or maybe we can provide a separate patch for Power's
huge page sizes but posted separately (and very possibly I'm not the best
candidate then..).
