4.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Anton Blanchard <anton@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 53ecde0b9126ff140abe3aefd7f0ec64d6fa36b0 upstream.
Memory hot unplug on PowerNV radix hosts is broken. Our memory block
size is 256MB but since we map the linear region with very large
pages, each pte we tear down maps 1GB.
A hot unplug of one 256MB memory block results in 768MB of memory
getting unintentionally unmapped. At this point we are likely to oops.
Fix this by increasing our memory block size to 1GB on PowerNV radix
hosts.
