I'm in favour of getting rid of include/asm-generic/pgtable-nopmd.h and
include/asm-generic/pgtable-nopud.h altogether. The folding of page
table levels is hard enough to understand but with the definitions
scattered in five different files it is no fun. At least my brain starts
to hurt everytime I have to look at an architecture that uses the
generic folding. As an example I hacked together the conversion for
sparc64. It compiles, dunno if it works.
