[PATCH] remove unnecessary PAE pgd set
From: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com>, Bill Irwin With PAE on, there are only 4 PGD entries. The kernel ones never change, so there is no need to copy them when a vmalloc fault occurs. This was this was causing problems with the split pmd patches, but it is still correct for mainline. Tested with and without PAE. I ran it in a loop turning on and off 10 swap partitions, which is what excited the original bug. http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640
