The SPARSEMEM EXTREME code (802f192e4a) that
went in yesterday broke PPC64 for !CONFIG_NUMA.
The problem is that (free|reserve)_bootmem don't take a page number as their
first argument, they take an address. Ruh roh.
Booted on P5 LPAR, iSeries and G5.

A new option for SPARSEMEM is ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME. Architecture
platforms with a very sparse physical address space would likely want to
select this option. For those architecture platforms that don't select the
option, the code generated is equivalent to SPARSEMEM currently in -mm.
I'll be posting a patch on ia64 ml which uses this new SPARSEMEM feature.
ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME makes mem_section a one dimensional array of
pointers to mem_sections. This two level layout scheme is able to achieve
smaller memory requirements for SPARSEMEM with the tradeoff of an
additional shift and load when fetching the memory section. The current
SPARSEMEM -mm implementation is a one dimensional array of mem_sections
which is the default SPARSEMEM configuration. The patch attempts isolates
the implementation details of the physical layout of the sparsemem section
array.
ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME depends on 64BIT and is by default boolean false.
I've boot tested under aim load ia64 configured for ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME.
I've also boot tested a 4 way Opteron machine with !ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME
and tested with aim.

We no longer need the lmb code to know about abs and phys addresses, so
remove the physbase variable from the lmb_property struct.

abs_to_phys() is a macro that turns out to do nothing, and also has the
unfortunate property that it's not the inverse of phys_to_abs() on iSeries.
The following is for my benefit as much as everyone else.
With CONFIG_MSCHUNKS enabled, the lmb code is changed such that it keeps
a physbase variable for each lmb region. This is used to take the possibly
discontiguous lmb regions and present them as a contiguous address space
beginning from zero.
In this context each lmb region's base address is its "absolute" base
address, and its physbase is it's "physical" address (from Linux's point of
view). The abs_to_phys() macro does the mapping from "absolute" to "physical".
Note: This is not related to the iSeries mapping of physical to absolute
(ie. Hypervisor) addresses which is maintained with the msChunks structure.
And the msChunks structure is not controlled via CONFIG_MSCHUNKS.
Once upon a time you could compile for non-iSeries with CONFIG_MSCHUNKS
enabled. But these days CONFIG_MSCHUNKS depends on CONFIG_PPC_ISERIES, so
for non-iSeries code abs_to_phys() is a no-op.
On iSeries we always have one lmb region which spans from 0 to
systemcfg->physicalMemorySize (arch/ppc64/kernel/iSeries_setup.c line 383).
This region has a base (ie. absolute) address of 0, and a physbase address
of 0 (as calculated in lmb_analyze() (arch/ppc64/kernel/lmb.c line 144)).
On iSeries, abs_to_phys(aa) is defined as lmb_abs_to_phys(aa), which finds
the lmb region containing aa (and there's only one, ie. 0), and then does:
return lmb.memory.region[0].physbase + (aa - lmb.memory.region[0].base)
physbase == base == 0, so you're left with "return aa".
So remove abs_to_phys(), and lmb_abs_to_phys() which is the implementation
of abs_to_phys() for iSeries.

Implement 4-level pagetables for ppc64
This patch implements full four-level page tables for ppc64, thereby
extending the usable user address range to 44 bits (16T).
The patch uses a full page for the tables at the bottom and top level,
and a quarter page for the intermediate levels. It uses full 64-bit
pointers at every level, thus also increasing the addressable range of
physical memory. This patch also tweaks the VSID allocation to allow
matching range for user addresses (this halves the number of available
contexts) and adds some #if and BUILD_BUG sanity checks.

This patch effectively eliminates direct use of pgdat->node_mem_map outside
of the DISCONTIG code. On a flat memory system, these fields aren't
currently used, neither are they on a sparsemem system.
There was also a node_mem_map(nid) macro on many architectures. Its use
along with the use of ->node_mem_map itself was not consistent. It has
been removed in favor of two new, more explicit, arch-independent macros:
pgdat_page_nr(pgdat, pagenr)
nid_page_nr(nid, pagenr)
I called them "pgdat" and "nid" because we overload the term "node" to mean
"NUMA node", "DISCONTIG node" or "pg_data_t" in very confusing ways. I
believe the newer names are much clearer.
These macros can be overridden in the sparsemem case with a theoretically
slower operation using node_start_pfn and pfn_to_page(), instead. We could
make this the only behavior if people want, but I don't want to change too
much at once. One thing at a time.
This patch removes more code than it adds.
Compile tested on alpha, alpha discontig, arm, arm-discontig, i386, i386

Currently ppc64 has two mm_structs for the kernel, init_mm and also
ioremap_mm. The latter really isn't necessary: this patch abolishes it,
instead restricting vmallocs to the lower 1TB of the init_mm's range and
placing io mappings in the upper 1TB. This simplifies the code in a number
of places and eliminates an unecessary set of pagetables. It also tweaks
the unmap/free path a little, allowing us to remove the unmap_im_area() set
of page table walkers, replacing them with unmap_vm_area().

This patch started as simply removing a few never-used macros from
asm-ppc64/pgtable.h, then kind of grew. It now makes a bunch of
cleanups to the ppc64 low-level header files (with corresponding
changes to .c files where necessary) such as:
- Abolishing never-used macros
- Eliminating multiple #defines with the same purpose
- Removing pointless macros (cases where just expanding the
macro everywhere turns out clearer and more sensible)
- Removing some cases where macros which could be defined in
terms of each other weren't
- Moving imalloc() related definitions from pgtable.h to their
own header file (imalloc.h)
- Re-arranging headers to group things more logically
- Moving all VSID allocation related things to mmu.h, instead
of being split between mmu.h and mmu_context.h
- Removing some reserved space for flags from the PMD - we're
not using it.
- Fix some bugs which broke compile with STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS.

This patch fixes ppc64 __ioremap() so that it stops adding implicitely
_PAGE_GUARDED when the cache is not writeback, and instead, let the callers
provide the flag they want here. This allows things like framebuffers to
explicitely request a non-cacheable and non-guarded mapping which is more
efficient for that type of memory without side effects. The patch also
fixes all current callers to add _PAGE_GUARDED except btext, which is fine
without it.

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!
