We remove real_pte_t out of STRICT_MM_TYPESCHECK. We will later add
a radix variant that is big endian

It looks like most of what this patch does is move a bunch of
definitions from page.h to a new pgtable-types.h.  What is the
motivation for this?  Is the code identical (pure code movement) or do
you make changes along the way, and if so, what and why?

The motivation is to assist in addition of a big endian page table format later. 

What exactly are you doing with real_pte_t and why?

Want to avoint STRICT_MM_TYPESCHECK related #ifdef around real_pte_t. I
can split that into a separate patch and keep this patch strictly code
movement.
