[PATCH 1/2] folded page table walkers

[Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au>]

(Note these are all obviously just RFCs, until after 2.6.11,
at which time I'll send them off to Andrew if they've proven
OK).

Anyway, here is the patch to fold the page table walkers
nicely for 2 and 3 level implementations... now we are getting
some good reasons why people should convert to the -nop?d.h
headers :)


We cut 35% off lmbench fork time with 2 level UP i386. This
patch gets most of the improvement.
