I've hacked up a fix below, but I don't know how to test whether it actually
works (it does fix the build). However, I also notice that building for
m5475evb_defconfig with vanilla v5.5 triggers this scary looking warning
due to a mismatch between the pgd size and the (8k!) page size:

I think the correct fix is to add this:

memset(new_pgd, 0, PAGE_OFFSET >> PGDIR_SHIFT);
return new_pgd;
}


but maybe it should be done as a separate patch give that it's not caused
by the rework we've been doing.
