Since __pmd() can help us work around a GCC zero initializer bug. Just send a patch to sparclinux, with a proper commit message that captures the details why it is required. Please do not wait for me to do it, as that may take a few days since I have not looked up all the history why it is needed. In other words, the code change is trivial, it will more time to explain *why* it is re-introduced.
