    mm: Add and use update_mmu_cache_pmd() in transparent huge page code. · b113da65

    The transparent huge page code passes a PMD pointer in as the third
    argument of update_mmu_cache(), which expects a PTE pointer.
    
    This never got noticed because X86 implements update_mmu_cache() as a
    macro and thus we don't get any type checking, and X86 is the only
    architecture which supports transparent huge pages currently.
    
    Before other architectures can support transparent huge pages properly we
    need to add a new interface which will take a PMD pointer as the third
    argument rather than a PTE pointer.
