[PATCH v9 0/8] powerpc: Free up RPAGE_RSV bits

[Ram Pai]

RPAGE_RSV0..4 PTE bits are currently used for HPTE slot tracking.
We need these bits for memory-protection keys. Luckily these four
bits are relatively easier to move among all the other candidate
bits.

For 64K linux-PTEs backed by 4k HPTEs, these bits are used for
tracking the validity of the slot value stored in the
second-part-of-the-PTE. We device a new mechanism for tracking
the validity without using those bits. The mechanism is
explained in the first patch.

For 64K linux-PTE backed by 64K HPTEs, we simply move the slot
tracking bits to the second-part-of-the-PTE.

The above mechanism is also used to free the bits for hugetlb
linux-PTEs.

For 4k linux-PTE, we have only 3 free bits available. We swizzle
around the bits and release RPAGE_RSV{2,3,4} for memory protection
keys.

Testing:
--------
has survived kernel compilation on multiple platforms
p8 powernv hash-mode, p9 powernv hash-mode, p7 powervm,
p8-powervm, p8-kvm-guest.

History:
-------
This patchset is a spin-off from the memkey patchset.

version v10:
	(1) hidx value is rotated by one to save
		initialization of the secondary-PTE.
	(2) comments are not anymore right justified.
		-- comment by mpe

version v9:
	(1) rearranged the patch order. First the helper
	routines are defined followed by the
	patches that make use of the helpers.

version v8:
	(1) an additional patch added to free up
	RSV{2,3,4} on 4K linux-PTE.

version v7:
	(1) GIX bit reset change moved to the second
		patch -- noticed by Aneesh.
	(2) Separated this patches from memkey patchset
	(3) merged a bunch of patches, that used the
		helper function, into one.
version v6:
	(1) No changes related to PTE.

version v5:
	(1) No changes related to PTE.

version v4:
	(1) No changes related to PTE.

version v3:
	(1) split the patches into smaller consumable
		patches.
	(2) A bug fix while invalidating a HPTE slot
		in __hash_page_4K()
		-- noticed by Aneesh
version v2:
 	(1) fixed a bug in 4k HPTE backed 64k PTE
		where page invalidation was not
		done correctly, and initialization
		of second-part-of-the-PTE was not
		done correctly if the PTE was not
		yet Hashed with a HPTE.
		--	Reported by Aneesh.
	
version v1: Initial version
