[PATCH 00/13] mm/treewide: Remove pXd_huge() API

From: Peter Xu <peterx at redhat.com>

[based on akpm/mm-unstable latest commit 9af2e4c429b5]

v1:
- Rebase, remove RFC tag
- Fixed powerpc patch build issue, enhancing commit message [Michael]
- Optimize patch 1 & 3 on "none || !present" check [Jason]

In previous work [1], we removed the pXd_large() API, which is arch
specific.  This patchset further removes the hugetlb pXd_huge() API.

Hugetlb was never special on creating huge mappings when compared with
other huge mappings.  Having a standalone API just to detect such pgtable
entries is more or less redundant, especially after the pXd_leaf() API set
is introduced with/without CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE.

When looking at this problem, a few issues are also exposed that we don't
have a clear definition of the *_huge() variance API.  This patchset
started by cleaning these issues first, then replace all *_huge() users to
use *_leaf(), then drop all *_huge() code.

On x86/sparc, swap entries will be reported "true" in pXd_huge(), while for
all the rest archs they're reported "false" instead.  This part is done in
patch 1-5, in which I suspect patch 1 can be seen as a bug fix, but I'll
leave that to hmm experts to decide.

Besides, there are three archs (arm, arm64, powerpc) that have slightly
different definitions between the *_huge() v.s. *_leaf() variances.  I
tackled them separately so that it'll be easier for arch experts to chim in
when necessary.  This part is done in patch 6-9.

The final patches 10-13 do the rest on the final removal, since *_leaf()
will be the ultimate API in the future, and we seem to have quite some
confusions on how *_huge() APIs can be defined, provide a rich comment for
*_leaf() API set to define them properly to avoid future misuse, and
hopefully that'll also help new archs to start support huge mappings and
avoid traps (like either swap entries, or PROT_NONE entry checks).

The whole series is only lightly tested on x86, while as usual I don't have
the capability to test all archs that it touches.
