[PATCH 4 of 8] x86_64/setup: unconditionally populate the pgd

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Date: Tue Jul 01 2008 - 21:04:49 EST


When allocating a new pud, unconditionally populate the pgd (why did
we bother to create a new pud if we weren't going to populate it?).

This will only happen if the pgd slot was empty, since any existing
pud will be reused.
