At present, ARCH=powerpc kernels can waste considerable space in
pagetables when making large hugepage mappings. Hugepage PTEs go in
PMD pages, but each PMD page maps 256M and so contains only 16
hugepage PTEs (128 bytes of data), but takes up a 1024 byte
allocation. With CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES enabled (64k base page size),
the situation is worse. Now hugepage PTEs are at the PTE page level
(also mapping 256M), so we store 16 hugepage PTEs in a 64k allocation.
The PowerPC MMU already means that any 256M region is either all
hugepage, or all normal pages. Thus, with some care, we can use a
different allocation for the hugepage PTE tables and only allocate the
128 bytes necessary.

set_page_count usage outside mm/ is limited to setting the refcount to 1.
Remove set_page_count from outside mm/, and replace those users with
init_page_count() and set_page_refcounted().
This allows more debug checking, and tighter control on how code is allowed
to play around with page->_count.

In mm_init_ppc64() we calculate the location of the "IO hole", but then
no one ever looks at the value. So don't bother.
That's actually all mm_init_ppc64() does, so get rid of it too.

asm-ppc64/imalloc.h is only included from files in arch/powerpc/mm.
We already have a header for mm local definitions,
arch/powerpc/mm/mmu_decl.h. Thus, this patch moves the contents of
imalloc.h into mmu_decl.h. The only exception are the definitions of
PHBS_IO_BASE, IMALLOC_BASE and IMALLOC_END. Those are moved into
pgtable.h, next to similar definitions of VMALLOC_START and
VMALLOC_SIZE.
Built for multiplatform 32bit and 64bit (ARCH=powerpc).

This also make klimit have the same type on 32-bit as on 64-bit,
namely unsigned long, and defines and initializes it in one place.

This patch makes the kernel use a different kmem cache for PMD pages
as they are smaller than PTE pages. Avoids waste of memory.

The ancient ppcdebug/PPCDBG mechanism is now only used in two places.
First, in the hash setup code, one of the bits allows the size of the
hash table to be reduced by a factor of 8 - which would be better
accomplished with a command line option for that purpose. The other
was a bunch of bus walking related messages in the iSeries code, which
would seem to be insufficient reason to keep the mechanism.
This patch removes the last traces of this mechanism.
Built and booted on iSeries and pSeries POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc).

Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel
base page size to 64K. The resulting kernel still boots on any
hardware. On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel
will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently.
Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch
will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm
still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the
information from the newer hypervisors.

This moves the remaining files in arch/ppc64/mm to arch/powerpc/mm,
and arranges that we use them when compiling with ARCH=ppc64.

This doesn't change any code, just renames things so we consistently
have foo_32.c and foo_64.c where we have separate 32- and 64-bit
versions.

This also creates merged versions of do_init_bootmem, paging_init
and mem_init and moves them to arch/powerpc/mm/mem.c. It gets rid
of the mem_pieces stuff.
I made memory_limit a parameter to lmb_enforce_memory_limit rather
than a global referenced by that function. This will require some
small changes to ppc64 if we want to continue building ARCH=ppc64
using the merged lmb.c.

This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch
of Kconfig files. It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm,
arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac. This is enough
to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc.
For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and
arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel. This makes some minor changes
to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc.
The boot directory is still not merged. That's going to be interesting.
