Hi,

This patch series update 4k subpage tracking in pte page, thereby reducing
the ptefragment size. This results in us allocating less number of
pgtable_t for an application. One of the side effect is that we now make
and hcall to find out whether a 4k subpage is present in the hash page table or not.
We try to optmize that in patch "powerpc/mm: Optmize the hashed subpage iteration"

Changes from V1:
* rebased on top of 4.3 + change pte format series
* Use H_READ_4 so that we read 4 hpte slot information in single hcall.

Aneesh Kumar K.V (10):
  powerpc/mm: Don't hardcode page table size
  powerpc/mm: Don't hardcode the hash pte slot shift
  powerpc/nohash: Update 64K nohash config to have 32 pte fragement
  powerpc/nohash: we don't use real_pte_t for nohash
  powerpc/mm: Use H_READ with H_READ_4
  powerpc/mm: Don't track 4k subpage information with 64k linux page
    size
  powerpc/mm: update PTE frag size
  powerpc/mm: Update pte_iterate_hashed_subpages args
  powerpc/mm: Drop real_pte_t usage
  powerpc/mm: Optmize the hashed subpage iteration
