OK, so branching based on "#if CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS > 2" seems better.

The format of pud entry differs based on PRESENT bit, and PSE bit is
checked before PRESENT bit.  So in order to distinguish from a normal
huge entry, we had to define that a non-present huge entry should have
its PSE bit cleared (although this sounds counter-intuitive).
