Stephen Rothwell dc6adfb33f [POWERPC] Fix iSeries_hpte_insert prototype
Commit 1189be6508 ([POWERPC] Use 1TB
segments) added an argument to hpte_insert.

Also make iSeries_hpte_insert static.

Paul Mackerras 1189be6508 [POWERPC] Use 1TB segments
This makes the kernel use 1TB segments for all kernel mappings and for
user addresses of 1TB and above, on machines which support them
(currently POWER5+, POWER6 and PA6T).

We detect that the machine supports 1TB segments by looking at the
ibm,processor-segment-sizes property in the device tree.

We don't currently use 1TB segments for user addresses < 1T, since
that would effectively prevent 32-bit processes from using huge pages
unless we also had a way to revert to using 256MB segments.  That
would be possible but would involve extra complications (such as
keeping track of which segment size was used when HPTEs were inserted)
and is not addressed here.

Parts of this patch were originally written by Ben Herrenschmidt.

David Gibson 8e561e7eda [POWERPC] Kill typedef-ed structs for hash PTEs and BATs
Using typedefs to rename structure types if frowned on by CodingStyle.
However, we do so for the hash PTE structure on both ppc32 (where it's
called "PTE") and ppc64 (where it's called "hpte_t").  On ppc32 we
also have such a typedef for the BATs ("BAT").

This removes this unhelpful use of typedefs, in the process
bringing ppc32 and ppc64 closer together, by using the name "struct
hash_pte" in both cases.

Michael Ellerman 7d0daae4ae [POWERPC] powerpc: Initialise ppc_md htab pointers earlier
Initialise the ppc_md htab callbacks earlier, in the probe routines. This
allows us to call htab_finish_init() from htab_initialize(), and makes it
private to hash_utils_64.c. Move htab_finish_init() and make_bl() above
htab_initialize() to avoid forward declarations.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 3c726f8dee [PATCH] ppc64: support 64k pages
Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel
base page size to 64K.  The resulting kernel still boots on any
hardware.  On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel
will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently.

Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch
will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm
still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the
information from the newer hypervisors.
