[x86] warning: parameter has incomplete type

[Tetsuo Handa]

Hello.

Is there a patch to suppress below warning messages (which are printed for every
file when compiling kernel using gcc 3.3.5)?

Regards.

# cat ~/warn.sh
#! /bin/sh
make -s oldconfig
touch init/main.c
make init/main.o > /tmp/log 2>&1
grep -qF "warning: parameter has incomplete type" /tmp/log && exit 1
exit 0

    x86: move pte types into pgtable*.h

    pgtable*.h is intended for definitions relating to actual pagetables
    and their entries, so move all the definitions for
    (pte|pmd|pud|pgd)(val)?_t to the appropriate pgtable*.h headers.
