Downgrading an existing large mapping to a mapping using smaller
page-sizes works only for the mappings created with page-mode 7 (i.e.
non-default page size).
Treat large mappings created with page-mode 0 (i.e. default page size)
like a non-present mapping and allow to overwrite it in alloc_pte().
While around, make sure that we flush the TLB only if we change an
existing mapping, otherwise we might end up acting on garbage PTEs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
