SubjectAllow compile with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y, X86_PAE not set on gcc 3.4.5
Hi,

It appears that "x86: preallocate and prepopulate separately"
(d8d5900ef8afc562088f8470feeaf17c4747790f) introduced a minor regression.
The build fails on gcc 3.4.5 if CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y (that is gcc is
called with -g) and X86_PAE not set.

There was previously some discussion of this without resolution.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/18/250

arch/x86/mm/pgtable.c: In function `pgd_prepopulate_pmd':
arch/x86/mm/pgtable.c:222: internal compiler error: in remove_insn, at emit-rtl.c:3746
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.

# i686-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc --version
i686-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc (GCC) 3.4.5

My investigations seem to show that gcc 3.4.5 can't cope with the following
construct:

for (i = 0; i < 0; i++)
...

or more specifically:

for (i = 0; i < PREALLOCTED_PMDS; i++)
...

when PREALLOCTED_PMDS is 0. That is, when X86_PAE is not set.

This patch resolves this problem by moving the relevant code inside
#define X86_PAE and providing dummy functions outside !X86_PAE.
