This is the continuation of the RFC v1 series "Reimplement huge pages
without hugepd on powerpc 8xx". It now get rid of hugepd completely
after handling also e500 and book3s/64

Also see https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues/483

Unlike most architectures, powerpc 8xx HW requires a two-level
pagetable topology for all page sizes. So a leaf PMD-contig approach
is not feasible as such.

Possible sizes on 8xx are 4k, 16k, 512k and 8M.

First level (PGD/PMD) covers 4M per entry. For 8M pages, two PMD entries
must point to a single entry level-2 page table. Until now that was
done using hugepd. This series changes it to use standard page tables
where the entry is replicated 1024 times on each of the two pagetables
refered by the two associated PMD entries for that 8M page.

For e500 and book3s/64 there are less constraints because it is not
tied to the HW assisted tablewalk like on 8xx, so it is easier to use
leaf PMDs (and PUDs).

On e500 the supported page sizes are 4M, 16M, 64M, 256M and 1G. All at
PMD level on e500/32 (mpc85xx) and mix of PMD and PUD for e500/64. We
encode page size with 4 available bits in PTE entries. On e300/32 PGD
entries size is increases to 64 bits in order to allow leaf-PMD entries
because PTE are 64 bits on e500.

On book3s/64 only the hash-4k mode is concerned. It supports 16M pages
as cont-PMD and 16G pages as cont-PUD. In other modes (radix-4k, radix-6k
and hash-64k) the sizes match with PMD and PUD sizes so that's just leaf
entries. The hash processing make things a bit more complex. To ease
things, __hash_page_huge() is modified to bail out when DIRTY or ACCESSED
bits are missing, leaving it to mm core to fix it.

Global changes in v3:
- Removed patches 1 and 2
- Squashed patch 11 into patch 5
- Replaced patches 12 and 13 with a series from Michael
- Reordered patches a bit to have more general patches up front

For more details on changes, see in each patch.
