[PATCH 03/12] remove dead code in pgtable_cache_init

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <hidden>
Date: 2007-10-15 21:51:07
Also in: lkml, xen-devel

The conversion from using a slab cache to quicklist left some residual
dead code.

I note that in the conversion it now always allocates a whole page for
the pgd, rather than the 32 bytes needed for a PAE pgd.  Was this
intended?
