IIUC, this is for nopmd kernels, where we only have real PGD and PTE
levels of table. From my PoV, that would be clearer if we did:

else if (shift == PMD_SHIFT && !is_defined(__PAGETABLE_PMD_FOLDED))

... though IMO it would be a bit nicer if the generic
pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() were nop'd out for __PAGETABLE_PMD_FOLDED
builds, so that callers don't have to be aware of folding.

I couldn't think of a nicer way of distinguishing levels of table, and
having separate function pointers for each level seems over-the-top, so
otehr than that this looks good to me.

Assuming you're happy with the above change:

Thanks,
Mark.
