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.

+/*
+ * Functions that deal with pagetables that could be at any level of
+ * the table need to be passed an "index_size" so they know how to
+ * handle allocation. For PTE pages (which are linked to a struct
+ * page for now, and drawn from the main get_free_pages() pool), the
+ * allocation size will be (2^index_size * sizeof(pointer)) and
+ * allocations are drawn from the kmem_cache in PGT_CACHE(index_size).
+ *
+ * The maximum index size needs to be big enough to allow any
+ * pagetable sizes we need, but small enough to fit in the low bits of
+ * any page table pointer. In other words all pagetables, even tiny
+ * ones, must be aligned to allow at least enough low 0 bits to
+ * contain this value. This value is also used as a mask, so it must
+ * be one less than a power of two.
