Hmmm...
pml4, pgd, pmd, pte (kernel names) PML4E, PDPE, PDE, PTE (AMD hardware names)
It's kind of a mess, isn't it? It was bad enough with the "pmd" (page middle directory, ugh) being some random invention and everything being generally in conflict with real hardware naming. Now you've come up with a fourth name.
Notice that you've resorted to using a number. Why not do that for the others too? It would bring some order to this ever-growing collection of arbitrary names. Like this:
pd4, pd3, pd2, pd1
