Err, your tree contains a serious error.

ARM: pgtable: switch to use pgtable-nopud.h

Nick Piggin noted upon introducing 4level-fixup.h:

| Add a temporary "fallback" header so architectures can run with
| the 4level pagetables patch without modification. All architectures
| should be converted to use the folding headers (include/asm-generic/
| pgtable-nop?d.h) as soon as possible, and the fallback header removed.

This makes ARM compliant with this statement.

Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel at arm.linux.org.uk>

If you commit a patch into a git tree, _you_ are supposed to _always_
add your own sign-off line to it unless it's already there.

Because of this, I'm going to _have_ to throw out the merge of this from
the devel-stable branch (sorry folks) because it's not compliant with the
DCO standards required.
