Hi Anshuman,

Thanks for your patch!

pxd_ERROR() has been used in generic mm just to print the page table entry
in pxd_clear_bad() before clearing those out with pxd_clear() later. These
pxd_ERROR() macros have been provided by all platforms which basically did
the same thing.

Make pxd_clear_bad() use recently added ptval_to_str() instead for printing
page table entries thus completely dropping dependency on platform provided
pxd_ERROR() macros which can then be dropped off. First move all required
helpers in core MM into a header file which could then be used else where.

Oh, the "x" in "pxd" is a wildcard?
Except that is not, as it does not match "pte" ;-)
