Hi !

This patch converts ppc64 to use the generic pgtable-nopud.h instead of
the "fixup" header.


Great! Nice work Ben.

Just a bit off-topic: I wonder how many more of these open
coded pt walks exist in arch code (yes I see you've cleaned
yours up - good).

I guess they don't matter much? They will probably get
converted when arches convert to the 4L headers.
