[PATCH V3 0/2] mm: FAULT_AROUND_ORDER patchset performance data for powerpc

[Madhavan Srinivasan]

Kirill A. Shutemov with 8c6e50b029 commit introduced
vm_ops->map_pages() for mapping easy accessible pages around
fault address in hope to reduce number of minor page faults.

This patch creates infrastructure to modify the FAULT_AROUND_ORDER
value using mm/Kconfig. This will enable architecture maintainers
to decide on suitable FAULT_AROUND_ORDER value based on
performance data for that architecture. First patch also defaults
FAULT_AROUND_ORDER Kconfig element to 4. Second patch list
out the performance numbers for powerpc (platform pseries) and
initialize the fault around order variable for pseries platform of
powerpc.

V3 Changes:
  Replaced FAULT_AROUND_ORDER macro to a variable to support arch's that
   supports sub platforms.
  Made changes in commit messages.

V2 Changes:
  Created Kconfig parameter for FAULT_AROUND_ORDER
  Added check in do_read_fault to handle FAULT_AROUND_ORDER value of 0
  Made changes in commit messages.

  powerpc/pseries: init fault_around_order for pseries
