Memory hotplug is leading to hash page table calls, even on radix:
...
	arch_add_memory
		create_section_mapping
			htab_bolt_mapping
				BUG_ON(!ppc_md.hpte_insert);
Refactor {create,remove}_section_mapping() into hash__ and radix__ variants.
RFC/TODO:
I wasn't sure what to do in radix__remove_section_mapping(). Its vmemmap
counterpart radix__vmemmap_remove_mapping() is stubbed as a FIXME. I left it
empty for now.
v2:
* Do not simply fall through to vmemmap_{create,remove}_mapping(). As Aneesh 
  and Michael pointed out, they are tied to CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP and only
  did what I needed by luck anyway.
v1:
* https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1466699962-22412-1-git-send-email-arbab@linux.vnet.ibm.com
