[PATCH v6 00/14] Convert powerpc to default topdown mmap layout

Rebased on top of powerpc/next branch

This series converts powerpc to default topdown mmap layout.

powerpc requires its own arch_get_unmapped_area() only when
slices are needed, which is only for book3s/64. First part of
the series moves slices into book3s/64 specific directories
and cleans up other subarchitectures.

Last part converts to default topdown mmap layout.

A small modification is done to core mm to allow
powerpc to still provide its own arch_randomize_brk()

Another modification is done to core mm to allow powerpc
to use generic versions of get_unmapped_area functions for Radix
while still providing its own implementation for Hash, the
selection between Radix and Hash being doing at runtime.

Last modification to core mm is to give len and flags to
arch_get_mmap_end().

Changes in v6:
- New patch (patch 4) to take arch_get_mmap_base() and arch_get_mmap_end() into account in generic hugetlb_get_unmapped_area()
- Get back arch_randomize_brk() simplification as it relies on default topdown mmap layout.
- Fixed precedence between || and && in powerpc's arch_get_mmap_end() (patch 9)

Changes in v5:
- Added patch 3
- Added arch_get_mmap_base() and arch_get_mmap_end() to patch 7 to better match original powerpc behaviour
- Switched patched 10 and 11 and performed full randomisation in patch 10 just before switching to default implementation, as suggested by Nic.

Changes in v4:
- Move arch_randomize_brk() simplification out of this series
- Add a change to core mm to enable using generic implementation
while providing arch specific one at the same time.
- Reworked radix get_unmapped_area to use generic implementation
- Rebase on top of Nic's series v6

Changes in v3:
- Fixed missing <linux/elf-randomize.h> in last patch
- Added a patch to move SZ_1T out of drivers/pci/controller/pci-xgene.c

Changes in v2:
- Moved patch 4 before patch 2
- Make generic arch_randomize_brk() __weak
- Added patch 9
