pte_index() on platforms other than sparc return a numerical index. On sparc, it returns a pte_t*. This presents an issue for vm_insert_pages(), which relies on pte_index() to find the offset for a pte within a pmd, for batched inserts. This patch: 1. Modifies pte_index() for sparc to return a numerical index, like other platforms, 2. Defines pte_entry() for sparc which returns a pte_t* (as pte_index() used to), 3. Converts existing sparc callers for pte_index() to use pte_entry().

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.
