These three architectures each define PMD_ORDER to mean "the order of
an allocation for a PMD table", but logically PMD_ORDER should be the
order of a PMD allocation, ie (PMD_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) as DAX defines it.

Some architectures do have PGD_ORDER, PUD_ORDER and PTE_ORDER as well.
If you rename PMD_ORDER, IMHO the others should be renamed too.

Why not simply rename "PMD_ORDER" in fs/dax.c to e.g.
#define DAX_PMD_SHIFT   (PMD_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT)
and use that inside the dax filesystem code?

Could each architecture maintainer please apply the appropriate patch
to their respective trees?

Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) (3):
   arm: Rename PMD_ORDER to PMD_TABLE_ORDER
   mips: Rename PMD_ORDER to PMD_TABLE_ORDER
   parisc: Rename PMD_ORDER to PMD_TABLE_ORDER
