Commit a0668cdc15 cleans up the handling
of kmem_caches for allocating various levels of pagetables.
Unfortunately, it conflicts badly with CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT, due to
the latter's cleverly hidden technique of adding some extra allocation
space to the top level page directory to store the extra information
it needs.
Since that extra allocation really doesn't fit into the cleaned up
page directory allocating scheme, this patch alters
CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT to instead allocate its struct
subpage_prot_table as part of the mm_context_t.

This reverts commit c045256d14.
It breaks build when CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT is not set. I will
commit a fixed version separately

When using 64k page sizes, our PTE pages are split in two halves,
the second half containing the "extension" used to keep track of
individual 4k pages when not using HW 64k pages.
However, our page tables used for hugetlb have a slightly different
format and don't carry that "second half".
Our code that batched PTEs to be invalidated unconditionally reads
the "second half" (to put it into the batch), which means that when
called to invalidate hugetlb PTEs, it will access unrelated memory.
It breaks when CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled.
This fixes it by only accessing the second half when the _PAGE_COMBO
bit is set in the first half, which indicates that we are dealing with
a "combo" page which represents 16x4k subpages. Anything else shouldn't
have this bit set and thus not require loading from the second half.

This patch moves the definition of the PTE format for each MMU type
to separate files instead of all in one file. This improves overall
maintainability and will make it easier to add new types.
On 64-bit, additionally, I've separated the headers relative to the
format of the page table tree (3 vs. 4 levels for 64K vs 4K pages)
from the headers specific to the PTE format for hash based processors,
this will make it easier to add support for Book3 "E" 64-bit
implementations.
There are still some type-related ifdef's in the generic headers,
we might remove them in the long run, but this patch shouldn't result
in any code change, -hopefully- just definitions being moved around.
