With LPAE, the section should be at the pmd level (2nd level page
table) as the PGDIR_SHIFT is 30. But if we standardise on using the
pmd in both cases, macros like pmd_val() would expand to the right
level with classic page tables (it goes up to pgd_val).

PMD_SHIFT also gets defined as PGDIR_SHIFT for the classic page
tables. One of my patches in the series converts the existing code to
PMD_SHIFT from PGDIR_SHIFT.

I'm happy to give this a try if you have some existing patches for the
classic page tables (I can even start from scratch but I don't want to
duplicate work).
