What are you doing here ? You declare a local variable on this module.
You should instead write :

extern struct pglist_data *pgdat_list ;
(But it seems already declared in mmzone.h)

But pgdat_list is an exported symbol of linux kernel : a module cannot access it.

So I suspect you will have to add in mm/page_alloc.c  (and recompile your kernel)

EXPORT_SYMBOL(pgdat_list);


And please use a recent kernel (2.6.13 at least) or few people will answer you.
