Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390. These sub-page
page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization
instruction with KVM. The SIE instruction requires that the page tables
have 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries
(pgste). The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE
instruction. The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor
for a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking.
To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return
1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE.
Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K. That means
the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct
page. Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one
cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than
32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be
accessible since its not kmapped).
Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a
pgtable_t. For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a
later patch. For everybody else it will be a (struct page *). The
additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the
NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and
a destructor pgtable_page_dtor. The page table allocation and free
functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or
freed. pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer.
To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with
pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added. It replaces the pmd_page
call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.

(with Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>)
The pgd/pud/pmd/pte page table allocation functions get a mm_struct pointer as
first argument. The free functions do not get the mm_struct argument. This
is 1) asymmetrical and 2) to do mm related page table allocations the mm
argument is needed on the free function as well.

APUS (the Amiga Power-Up System) is not supported under arch/powerpc
and it's unlikely it ever will be. Therefore, this patch removes the
fragments of APUS support code from arch/powerpc which have been
copied from arch/ppc.
A few APUS references are left in asm-powerpc in .h files which are
still used from arch/ppc.

For 32-bit systems, powerpc still relies on the 4level-fixup.h hack,
to pretend that the generic pagetable handling stuff is 3-levels
rather than 4. This patch removes this, instead using the newer
pgtable-nopmd.h to handle the elision of both the pud and pmd
pagetable levels (ppc32 pagetables are actually 2 levels).
This removes a little extraneous code, and makes it more easily
compared to the 64-bit pagetable code.

32-bit powerpc systems define a macro, PHYS_FMT, giving a printf
format string fragment for displaying physical addresses, since most
32-bit powerpc platforms use 32-bit physical addresses but a few use
64-bit physical addresses.
This macro is used in exactly one place, a rare error message, where
we can solve the problem more simply by just unconditionally casting
the address up to 64-bit quantity before formatting it.
This patch does so, meaning that as we bring MMU definitions from
asm-ppc over to asm-powerpc, cleaning them up in the process, we don't
need to implement this ugly macro (which additionally has a very bad
name for something global).

On hash table based 32 bits powerpc's, the hash management code runs with
a big spinlock. It's thus important that it never causes itself a hash
fault. That code is generally safe (it does memory accesses in real mode
among other things) with the exception of the actual access to the code
itself. That is, the kernel text needs to be accessible without taking
a hash miss exceptions.
This is currently guaranteed by having a BAT register mapping part of the
linear mapping permanently, which includes the kernel text. But this is
not true if using the "nobats" kernel command line option (which can be
useful for debugging) and will not be true when using DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
implemented in a subsequent patch.
This patch fixes this by pre-faulting in the hash table pages that hit
the kernel text, and making sure we never evict such a page under hash
pressure.

The 32 bits map_page() function is used internally by the mm code
for early mmu mappings and for ioremap. It should never be called
for an address that already has a valid PTE or hash entry, so we
add a BUG_ON for that and remove the useless flush_HPTE call.

When building an 85xx kernel we get:
CC arch/powerpc/mm/pgtable_32.o
arch/powerpc/mm/pgtable_32.c: In function 'io_block_mapping':
arch/powerpc/mm/pgtable_32.c:330: error: expected identifier before '(' token
arch/powerpc/mm/pgtable_32.c:330: error: expected statement before ')' token
The is_power_of_2(x) fixup patch left an extra ')' on the is_power_of_4 macro.
There is a similiar issue on the arch/ppc side.

powerpc: Merge 32 and 64 bits asm-powerpc/io.h
The rework on io.h done for the new hookable accessors made it easier,
so I just finished the work and merged 32 and 64 bits io.h for arch/powerpc.
arch/ppc still uses the old version in asm-ppc, there is just too much gunk
in there that I really can't be bothered trying to cleanup.

In order to suppose platforms with devices above 4Gb on 32 bits platforms
with a >32 bits physical address space, we used to have a special ioremap64
along with a fixup routine fixup_bigphys_addr.
This shouldn't be necessary anymore as struct resource now supports 64 bits
addresses even on 32 bits archs. This patch enables that option when
CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT is set and removes ioremap64 and fixup_bigphys_addr.
This is a preliminary work for the upcoming merge of 32 and 64 bits io.h

Fix 44x and BookE page fault handler to correctly lock PTE before
trying to pte_update() it, otherwise this PTE might be swapped out
after pte_present() check but before pte_uptdate() call, resulting in
corrupted PTE. This can happen with enabled preemption and low memory
condition.
