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.
v3 of this patch fixes a compilation warning for an unused method.
v2 of this patch moved a macro definition to a more readable location.

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.
