[PATCH v2 5/9] powerpc/64s: Relax PACA address limitations

Sun Aug 13 11:33:42 AEST 2017


Book3S radix-mode has no SLB interrupt limitation, and hash-mode has
a 1T limitation on modern CPUs, so PACA allocation limits can be lifted.

Update the paca alloation limits. Share TLB/SLB calculation with the
stack allocation code.
