Xen has this on one_md_table_init() as well for pmd.

I'll add that in another patch. It's easy to miss some of the init time call sites (we don't actually depend on them for correctness).

Is that the right pfn?  That -1 throws me off.

Why the switch of kmem_cache_free call?

Because pgd_val(pgd[i])-1 is confusing. Using (pgd_val(pgd[i]) - _PAGE_PRESENT) would be better, but the +/- 1s all over the place here could use some general cleanup as well. I smell a cleanup fit coming on. Using (pgd_val(pgd[i]) & PAGE_MASK) is a less error prone way to get the physical frame bits, since it is not wrong if you turn on PCD or PWD.
