Description of problem: Using a kernel xen config to compile produces a huge amount of compiler warnings, such that it makes it hard to see if any changes my patch created causes any new warnings. The warning is include/asm/mach-xen/asm/pgtable.h: In function ‘pud_present’: include/asm/mach-xen/asm/pgtable.h:102: warning: ‘pud_val’ is static but used in inline function ‘pud_present’ which is not static A simple fix corrects the problem and life is happy again.

Verified in 2.6.18-212.el5. Compiling kernel with xen config, no warning looking like the one from bug description is printed. Although compiling -211.el5 kernel does not reproduce. Also verified the patch went to 212.el5.
