I agree that could be done, but equally the definitions of
p?d_present/p?d_none/p?d_bad etc could be provided by a generic header
for !MMU but currently are not. It makes sense to keep the p?d_large
definitions next to the others.

I'd prefer to stick with a (relatively) small change here - it's already
quite a long series! But this is certainly something that could be
tidied up for !MMU archs.
