This unfortunately fails to build on 32-bit ARM, and I also think we
intended to check against S2_PGDIR_SIZE, not S2_PUD_SIZE.

How about adding this to your patch (which includes a rename of
S2_PGD_SIZE which is horribly confusing as it indicates the size of the
first level stage-2 table itself, where S2_PGDIR_SIZE indicates the size
of address space mapped by a single entry in the same table):
