The trick is that we do the kernel linear mapping TLB miss starting
with an instruction sequence like this:
ba,pt %xcc, kvmap_load
xor %g2, %g4, %g5
succeeded by an instruction sequence which performs a full page table
walk starting at swapper_pg_dir.
We first take over the trap table from the firmware. Then, using this
constant PTE generation for the linear mapping area above, we build
the kernel page tables for the linear mapping.
After this is setup, we patch that branch above into a "nop", which
will cause TLB misses to fall through to the full page table walk.
With this, the page unmapping for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is trivial.

Arrange the modules, OBP, and vmalloc areas such that a range
verification can be done quite minimally.

A lot of the code in arch/*/mm/hugetlbpage.c is quite similar. This patch
attempts to consolidate a lot of the code across the arch's, putting the
combined version in mm/hugetlb.c. There are a couple of uglyish hacks in
order to covert all the hugepage archs, but the result is a very large
reduction in the total amount of code. It also means things like hugepage
lazy allocation could be implemented in one place, instead of six.
Tested, at least a little, on ppc64, i386 and x86_64.
Notes:
- this patch changes the meaning of set_huge_pte() to be more
analagous to set_pte()
- does SH4 need s special huge_ptep_get_and_clear()??

ia64 and sparc64 hurriedly had to introduce their own variants of
pgd_addr_end, to leapfrog over the holes in their virtual address spaces which
the final clear_page_range suddenly presented when converted from pgd_index to
pgd_addr_end. But now that free_pgtables respects the vma list, those holes
are never presented, and the arch variants can go.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
