Kirill did indeed note that p*_large() isn't universally availale (but
there's definitely !x86 archs that have them). He also said it would
probably make sense to have them universally available and might help
clean up mm/gup.c a little.

A quick grep shows that: ARM, PowerPC, S390, Sparc and x86 have
'pmd_large'.

Anyway; it probably makes sense (and shouldn't be too hard) to fix up
all architectures to provide this.
