Hi,

This patch series is on top of the series posted at 

https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2015-October/135299.html
"[PATCH V4 00/31] powerpc/mm: Update page table format for book3s 64". In this
series we remove 4k subpage tracking with 64K config. Instead we do a hash
table lookup to get the slot information of 4k hash ptes. This also allow us
to remove real_pte_t. Side effect of the change is that a specific 4k slot
lookup can result in multiple H_READ hcalls. But that should only impact
when we are using 4K subpages which should be rare.

NOTE: I only tested this on systemsim. Wanted to get this out to get early
feedback.

Aneesh Kumar K.V (7):
  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/mm: Don't track 4k subpage information with 64k linux page
    size
  powerpc/mm: update frag size
  powerpc/mm: Update pte_iterate_hashed_subpaes args
  powerpc/mm: getrid of real_pte_t
