Could you try patch below? Completely untested.

Subject: [PATCH] microblaze: define __PAGETABLE_PMD_FOLDED

Microblaze uses custom implementation of PMD folding, but doesn't define
__PAGETABLE_PMD_FOLDED, which generic code expects to see. Let's fix it.

Defining __PAGETABLE_PMD_FOLDED will drop out unused __pmd_alloc().
It also fixes problems with recently-introduced pmd accounting.

Tested working.

Any idea how to fix the sh problem ?

Can you tell us more about it?  All I'm seeing is "qemu:sh fails to
shut down", which isn't very clear.

Turns out that the include file defining __PAGETABLE_PMD_FOLDED
was not always included where used, resulting in a messed up mm_struct.

What means "messed up" here? It should only affect size of mm_struct.

Plus the offset of all variables after the #ifndef.

The patch below fixes the problem for the sh architecture.
No idea if the patch is correct/acceptable for other architectures.

That's pain. Some archs includes <linux/mm_types.h> from <asm/pgtable.h>.
I don't see obvious way to fix this. Urghh.

Does it matter ? Circular includes are normally ok and happen all over the place.
I could run a full build / qemu test cycle for all architectures if that helps.
