Sorry about that.  Without this patch 01, applying patch 02 & 03 causes 
the following compile errors in vclock_gettime.c.  This is because it 
includes pgtable_type.h (see blow), which now requires PUD_SHIFT and 
PMD_SHIFT defined properly.  In case of X86_32, pgtable_type.h includes 
pgtable_nopud.h and pgtable-nopmd.h, which define these SHIFTs when 
CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVEL is set to 2 (or 3 if PAE is also defined).
