You fail to explain WHY this is required. I have not yet spotted any
code in vclock_gettime.c which is affected by this.

Sorry about that.  Without this patch 01, applying patch 02 & 03 causes 
the following compile errors in vclock_gettime.c.  This is because it 
includes pgtable_type.h (see blow), which now requires PUD_SHIFT and 
PMD_SHIFT defined properly.  In case of X86_32, pgtable_type.h includes 
pgtable_nopud.h and pgtable-nopmd.h, which define these SHIFTs when 
CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVEL is set to 2 (or 3 if PAE is also defined).

Attached is patch 01/10 with updated descriptions.  The rest of the patchset
still applies cleanly.

Please let me know if you have any further comments.

Subject: [PATCH v3 UPDATE 1/10] x86/vdso32: Define PGTABLE_LEVELS to 32bit
VDSO

In case of CONFIG_X86_64, vdso32/vclock_gettime.c fakes a 32-bit
non-PAE kernel configuration by re-defining it to CONFIG_X86_32.
However, it does not re-define CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS leaving it
as 4 levels.

This mismatch leads <asm/pgtable_type.h> to NOT include <asm-generic/
pgtable-nopud.h> and <asm-generic/pgtable-nopmd.h>, which will cause
compile errors when a later patch enhances <asm/pgtable_type.h> to
use PUD_SHIFT and PMD_SHIFT.  These -nopud & -nopmd headers define
these SHIFTs for the 32-bit non-PAE kernel.

Fix it by re-defining CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS to 2 levels.
