Too bad about the PAE thing; my condolences.

This patch introduces the pgtable-3level*.h files with definitions
specific to the LPAE page table format (3 levels of page tables).
Seeing as you're shaking up these definitions, what do you think about
switching from 4level-fixup.h to pgtable-nopud.h / pgtable-nopmd.h headers?
One day eventually it would be nice to get rid of the fixup mode.
I have patches to do this which I de-queued for the last merge window.
It's not entirely trivial and without problem. ?You can find the patches
in linux-next now.

I was waiting for the new set of patches from Catalin before going back
and working out the solutions to some of those problems.
Any plans for the nopmd patches? I haven't seen them in -next or on the list.

Thanks.
