Better option would be converting 2-lvl ARM configuration to
<asm-generic/pgtable-nopmd.h>, but I'm not sure if it's possible.

Well, IMHO the folded approach in asm-generic was done the wrong way
which barred ARM from ever using it.

Okay, I see.

Regarding the topic bug. Completely untested patch is below. Could anybody
check if it helps?

Subject: [PATCH] arm: define __PAGETABLE_PMD_FOLDED for !LPAE

ARM uses custom implementation of PMD folding in 2-level page table case.
Generic code expects to see __PAGETABLE_PMD_FOLDED to be defined if PMD is
folded, but ARM doesn't do this. Let's fix it.

Defining __PAGETABLE_PMD_FOLDED will drop out unused __pmd_alloc().
It also fixes problems with recently-introduced pmd accounting on ARM
without LPAE.
