How about these:
#define _chg_of_pmd(pmd)  (pmd_val(pmd) & _PAGE_CHG_MASK)
#define _chg_of_pud(pud)  (pud_val(pud) & _PAGE_CHG_MASK)

How about :

extern unsigned long  _svpbmt_mask
extern unsigned long _svpbmt_mt_pma
extern unsigned long _svpbmt_mt_nc
extern unsigned long _svpbmt_mt_io

#define _PAGE_MT_MASK              _svpbmt_mask
#define _PAGE_MT_PMA        _svpbmt_mt_pma
#define _PAGE_MT_NC          _svpbmt_mt_nc
#define _PAGE_MT_IO           _svpbmt_mt_io
