I suggest, for clarity and to minimize bloat:

I think it would save a page, at most.  But OK.  (Also, if you're
running !PAE, these pages will actually become part of the init_mm
pagetable, so there's no memory wastage at all.)

Even with PSE?

However, the main reason I wanted it done that way is to avoid cargo cult programming; this makes it much clearer where the numbers actually come from.

#ifdef CONFIG_X86_PAE
# define PAGE_TABLE_SIZE    ((2048+4)*4096)
#else
# define PAGE_TABLE_SIZE    ((1024+1)*4096)

1024 should be enough; the pgd is still swapper_pg_dir, and there are no
pmds.

Check.
