This patch modifies the pgd/pmd/pte manipulation functions to support
the 3-level page table format. Since there is no need for an 'ext'
argument to cpu_set_pte_ext(), this patch conditionally defines a
different prototype for this function when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE.
Maybe it doesn't make sense to still call it cpu_set_pte_ext then?
We could do this but it adds several #ifdef's, especially if we also
change macro names like set_pte_ext(). Otherwise we could leave the
latter macro unchanged and only change the name in the processor
structure. But I think it just adds more clutter.
