[patch 58/93] mm: pgtable: add shortcuts for accessing kernel PMD and PTE

[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@linux.ibm.com>
Subject: mm: pgtable: add shortcuts for accessing kernel PMD and PTE

The powerpc 32-bit implementation of pgtable has nice shortcuts for
accessing kernel PMD and PTE for a given virtual address.  Make these
helpers available for all architectures.
