I dropped them again because of those pesky warnings, so again I'm not
planning to push them this window as I don't wish to be deluged in
people reporting the warnings.

They really need fixing once we know how the LPAE stuff interacts with
the change.  At the moment I've no idea whether the existing section
support ends up at pgd or pmd level with LPAE.

Obviously that matters as with LPAE, pgd and pmd are different hardware
levels, but without LPAE they're the same hardware level.
