Convert pgtable code so pte_val()/pXd_val() aren't used as lvalue
anymore. This allows in later step to convert pte_val()/pXd_val() to
functions, which in turn makes it impossible to use these macros to
modify page table entries like they have been used before.
Therefore a construct like this:
pte_val(*pte) = __pa(addr) | prot;
which would directly write into a page table, isn't possible anymore
with the last step of this series.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
