Subject: 2.6.28-rc5: unused variable in pagetable_init

  CC      arch/x86/mm/init_32.o
/home/bor/src/linux-git/arch/x86/mm/init_32.c: In function ‘pagetable_init’:
/home/bor/src/linux-git/arch/x86/mm/init_32.c:515: warning: unused variable ‘pgd_base’

Well, pagetable_init is noop unless HIGHMEM is defined so it could be
as simple as that.

Or is something else expected to go into pagetable_init for more general
case?
