14c89e7fc8 [PATCH] powerpc: Replace VMALLOCBASE with VMALLOC_START
On ppc64, we independently define VMALLOCBASE and VMALLOC_START to be
the same thing: the start of the vmalloc() area at 0xd000000000000000.
VMALLOC_START is used much more widely, including in generic code, so
this patch gets rid of the extraneous VMALLOCBASE.

This does require moving the definitions of region IDs from page_64.h
to pgtable.h, but they don't clearly belong in the former rather than
the latter, anyway.  While we're moving them, clean up the definitions
of the REGION_IDs:
	- Abolish REGION_SIZE, it was only used once, to define
REGION_MASK anyway
	- Define the specific region ids in terms of the REGION_ID()
macro.
	- Define KERNEL_REGION_ID in terms of PAGE_OFFSET rather than
KERNELBASE.  It amounts to the same thing, but conceptually this is
about the region of the linear mapping (which starts at PAGE_OFFSET)
rather than of the kernel text itself (which is at KERNELBASE).

b5666f7039 [PATCH] powerpc: Separate usage of KERNELBASE and PAGE_OFFSET
This patch separates usage of KERNELBASE and PAGE_OFFSET. I haven't
looked at any of the PPC32 code, if we ever want to support Kdump on
PPC we'll have to do another audit, ditto for iSeries.

This patch makes PAGE_OFFSET the constant, it'll always be 0xC * 1
gazillion for 64-bit.

To get a physical address from a virtual one you subtract PAGE_OFFSET,
_not_ KERNELBASE.

KERNELBASE is the virtual address of the start of the kernel, it's
often the same as PAGE_OFFSET, but _might not be_.

If you want to know something's offset from the start of the kernel
you should subtract KERNELBASE.

51fae6de24 [PATCH] powerpc: Add a is_kernel_addr() macro
There's a bunch of code that compares an address with KERNELBASE to see if
it's a "kernel address", ie. >= KERNELBASE. The proper test is actually to
compare with PAGE_OFFSET, since we're going to change KERNELBASE soon.

So replace all of them with an is_kernel_addr() macro that does that.

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.

ab1f9dac6e powerpc: Merge arch/ppc64/mm to arch/powerpc/mm
This moves the remaining files in arch/ppc64/mm to arch/powerpc/mm,
and arranges that we use them when compiling with ARCH=ppc64.
