Some implementations (e.g. Xen PVOPS) could not use part of identity page

to construct transition page table. It means that they require separate 
PUDs,
PMDs and PTEs for virtual and physical (identity) mapping. To satisfy that
requirement add extra pointer to PGD, PUD, PMD and PTE and align existing 
code.
So you keep posting this despite it having got pointed out on each
earlier submission that this is unnecessary, proven by the fact that
the non-pvops Xen kernels can get away without it. Why?
