I made this powerpc-only for the time being. It shouldn't be too hard to
add support for other archs that define HUGE_VMAP. I have booted x86
with it enabled, just may not have audited everything.

I like this series, but if I understand correctly it enables huge vmalloc mappings only for hugepages sizes matching a page directory levels, ie on a PPC32 it would work only for 4M hugepages.

On the 8xx, we only have 8M and 512k hugepages. Any change that it can support these as well one day ?

Hi Andrew, would you care to put this in your tree?

Thanks,
Nick

Since v4:
- Fixed an off-by-page-order bug in v4
- Several minor cleanups.
- Added page order to /proc/vmallocinfo
- Added hugepage to alloc_large_system_hage output.
- Made an architecture config option, powerpc only for now.

Since v3:
- Fixed an off-by-one bug in a loop
- Fix !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP build fail
- Hopefully this time fix the arm64 vmap stack bug, thanks Jonathan
   Cameron for debugging the cause of this (hopefully).

Since v2:
- Rebased on vmalloc cleanups, split series into simpler pieces.
- Fixed several compile errors and warnings
- Keep the page array and accounting in small page units because
   struct vm_struct is an interface (this should fix x86 vmap stack debug
   assert). [Thanks Zefan]
