We are going to switch core MM to 5-level paging abstraction.

This is preparation step which adds <asm-generic/5level-fixup.h>
As with 4level-fixup.h, the new header allows quickly make all
architectures compatible with 5-level paging in core MM.

In long run we would like to switch architectures to properly folded p4d
level by using <asm-generic/pgtable-nop4d.h>, but it requires more
changes to arch-specific code.

... and this, makes me wonder if that broke pud_alloc() for architectures that use the 4level-fixup.h. Don't those need to continue having pud_alloc() as (pgd)?
