From: Arjun Roy <arjunroy@google.com>

pte_index() is either defined as a macro (e.g. sparc64) or as an
inlined function (e.g. x86). vm_insert_pages() depends on pte_index
but it is not defined on all platforms (e.g. m68k).

To fix compilation of vm_insert_pages() on architectures not providing
pte_index(), we perform the following fix:

0. For platforms where it is meaningful, and defined as a macro, no
   change is needed.
1. For platforms where it is meaningful and defined as an inlined
   function, and we want to use it with vm_insert_pages(), we define
   a degenerate macro of the form:  #define pte_index pte_index
2. vm_insert_pages() checks for the existence of a pte_index macro
   definition. If found, it implements a batched insert. If not found,
   it devolves to calling vm_insert_page() in a loop.

This patch implements step 1 for x86.
