That is pretty old code. Newer code does not make that assumption.
Without the assumption that the pages are from the current map, then you
have to use the direct physical -> virtual mapping:
2547 #ifdef PMAP_REMOVE_PAGES_CURPROC_ONLY
2548 pte = vtopte(pv->pv_va);
2549 #else
2550 pte = pmap_pte(pmap, pv->pv_va);
2551 #endif
