+ mm-pgtable-add-shortcuts-for-accessing-kernel-pmd-and-pte.patch added to -mm tree

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

The patch titled
     Subject: mm: pgtable: add shortcuts for accessing kernel PMD and PTE
has been added to the -mm tree.  Its filename is
     mm-pgtable-add-shortcuts-for-accessing-kernel-pmd-and-pte.patch

This patch should soon appear at
    http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-pgtable-add-shortcuts-for-accessing-kernel-pmd-and-pte.patch
and later at
    http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-pgtable-add-shortcuts-for-accessing-kernel-pmd-and-pte.patch

Before you just go and hit "reply", please:
   a) Consider who else should be cc'ed
   b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well
   c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a
      reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's

*** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code ***

The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated
there every 3-4 working days

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 this
helpers available for all architectures.
