Too little commit description for the proposed change here.

Please do explain the fact in a comment that huge pte mappings
upto PMD_SIZE are being allowed here, if the given block is
CONT_PTE_SIZE aligned.

IIUC arch_vmap_pte_range_map_size() gets used only when config
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is enabled. Hence should not these new huge
sizes being supported here also be added as valid HugeTLB sizes
thus updating __hugetlb_valid_size() and adding corresponding
new HugeTLB page sizes with hugetlb_add_hstate() ?

OR could arch_vmap_pte_range_map_size() and set_huge_pte_at()
can be updated for vmalloc without doing corresponding changes
into HugeTLB itself ?
