[RFC PATCH 0/5] Add support for larger address space for ppc64

[Aneesh Kumar K.V]

This patch series update ppc64 to use a 68 bit virtual address. The goal here
is to help us increase the effective address range to 512TB. I still haven't
comeup with a mechanism to enable application to selectively use address about
the 64TB (the current limit). The last patch in this series is just to check
whether the 68 bit va limit is working as expected.

On p4 and p5 which can do only 65 bit va, we do use mmu feature to fixup the max 
va bits. We do that by limiting the max context on these platforms. The context
bits for these platforms get reduced from 19 bits to 16 bits with these patches.

W.r.t limitting max effective address for application, we have discussion happening
on lkml w.r.t different approaches that can be used. Once we reach concensus on that,
the same approach can be used on ppc64 too.

TODO:
* PR kvm need to be looked at to study the impact
* Limit max address to 64TB by default and selectively enable range above.
* Fixup context switch to copy only required slice array.
