The vmalloc_fault() path was removed and to avoid syncing the vmalloc PGD
mappings, they are now preallocated. But if the kernel can use a PUD
mapping (which in sv39 is actually a PGD mapping) for large vmalloc
allocation, it will free the current unused preallocated PGD mapping and
install a new leaf one. Since there is no sync anymore, some page tables
lack this new mapping and that triggers a panic.
So only allow PUD mappings for sv48 and sv57.

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.
