    Better to use bool for use_pse.

    What are the semantics of the use_pse argument? Is it just a hint? If
    so, then the caller below should just pass a constant 1/true.

    That's a bit magic. Isn't that just "extra = end & ((1 << 21) - 1)"?
    And what are you actually computing here anyway?

    PMD_SIZE? The comment below says "2/4MB", which corresponds to a
    PAE/non-PAE large PMD.

    PMD_SIZE again? Non-PAE big pages are 4MB.

    More magic.

    I think this code could do with a dose of comments and some symbolic
    constants. And perhaps the tactical use of round_up/down.

    But it's a nice simplification of kernel_physical_mapping_init().
