So I fixed powerpc build and sparc but broke ia64 with this change
sorry, hard to make all archs build consistent. See the attached mails.

Would you be willing to implement __pmd for ia64 to fix this? Can you
check if this works?

Thanks a lot,
Andrea

Implement __pmd macro for ia64 too.

__pmd should return a valid pmd_t for every arch.

Build results here: http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/head/3605/

Notably:

powerpc pmac32_defconfig:

                 from include/linux/mm.h:41,

                 from arch/powerpc/kernel/asm-offsets.c:22:

include/asm-generic/pgtable.h:96: warning: (near initialization for '(anonymous).pud')

sparc defconfig:

Probably a side effect of
thp-add-pmd-mangling-generic-functions-fix-pgtableh-build-for-um.patch.
