David Gibson a0668cdc15 powerpc/mm: Cleanup management of kmem_caches for pagetables
Currently we have a fair bit of rather fiddly code to manage the
various kmem_caches used to store page tables of various levels.  We
generally have two caches holding some combination of PGD, PUD and PMD
tables, plus several more for the special hugepage pagetables.

This patch cleans this all up by taking a different approach.  Rather
than the caches being designated as for PUDs or for hugeptes for 16M
pages, the caches are simply allocated to be a specific size.  Thus
sharing of caches between different types/levels of pagetables happens
naturally.  The pagetable size, where needed, is passed around encoded
in the same way as {PGD,PUD,PMD}_INDEX_SIZE; that is n where the
pagetable contains 2^n pointers.
