    hm. I suspect some gcc related difference related to the handling of
    this masking:

    pmd_val(x) & ~(PAGE_MASK | _PAGE_USER | _PAGE_PSE | _PAGE_NX)

    versus:

    pmd_val(x) & (~PAGE_MASK & ~_PAGE_USER)

    perhaps it will work if you change it to:

    pmd_val(x) & (~PAGE_MASK & ~_PAGE_USER & ~_PAGE_PSE & ~_PAGE_NX)

    ?

    in any case, the commit has to be reverted as it clearly isnt a NOP on
    your box as it was intended to be. (it should only have made a
    difference in a rare hugetlbfs case)

    Ingo
