Hi Jordan,

Thanks for reporting this.

We can't fix that this way because some architectures define their own
pmd_same() function (like ppc64), thus forcing the define here will be useless
since __HAVE_ARCH_PMD_SAME is set in that case.

The right way to fix that is to _not check_ for the PMD value in pte_spinlock()
when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is not set since there is no risk of
collapsing operation in our back if THP are disabled.

I'll fix that in the next version.

Laurent.
