Thanks.

While I have your attention ... did you consider using the other
paradigm:

In arch include files:
#define pud_write	pud_write
static inline int pud_write(pud_t pud)
 .....

Then in include/asm-generic/pgtable.h:

#ifndef pud_write
tatic inline int pud_write(pud_t pud)
{
	....
}
#endif

If you had, then the powerpc code would have worked ... ;-)
and many of the other interfaces in include/asm-generic/pgtable.h are
protected that way ...
