arm (32) platform currently overrides pgdp_get() helper in the platform but
defines that like the exact same version as the generic one, albeit with a
typo which can be fixed with something like this.

diff --git a/arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable.h b/arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable.h

 #define pud_write(pud)         pmd_write(__pmd(pud_val(pud)))

Regardless there is another problem here. On arm platform there are multiple
pgd_t definitions available depending on various configs but some are arrays
instead of a single data element, although platform pgdp_get() helper remains
the same for all.

arch/arm/include/asm/page-nommu.h:typedef unsigned long pgd_t[2];
arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable-2level-types.h:typedef struct { pmdval_t pgd[2]; } pgd_t;
arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable-2level-types.h:typedef pmdval_t pgd_t[2];
arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable-3level-types.h:typedef struct { pgdval_t pgd; } pgd_t;
arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable-3level-types.h:typedef pgdval_t pgd_t;

I guess it might need different pgdp_get() variants depending applicable pgd_t
definition. Will continue looking into this further but meanwhile copied Russel
King in case he might be able to give some direction.
