David Miller 9e695d2ecc sparc64: Support transparent huge pages.
This is relatively easy since PMD's now cover exactly 4MB of memory.

Our PMD entries are 32-bits each, so we use a special encoding.  The
lowest bit, PMD_ISHUGE, determines the interpretation.  This is possible
because sparc64's page tables are purely software entities so we can use
whatever encoding scheme we want.  We just have to make the TLB miss
assembler page table walkers aware of the layout.

set_pmd_at() works much like set_pte_at() but it has to operate in two
page from a table of non-huge PTEs, so we have to queue up TLB flushes
based upon what mappings are valid in the PTE table.  In the second regime
we are going from huge-page to non-huge-page, and in that case we need
only queue up a single TLB flush to push out the huge page mapping.

We still have 5 bits remaining in the huge PMD encoding so we can very
likely support any new pieces of THP state tracking that might get added
in the future.

With lots of help from Johannes Weiner.

Rusty Russell 81f1adf012 cpumask: use mm_cpumask() wrapper: sparc
Makes code futureproof against the impending change to mm->cpu_vm_mask.

It's also a chance to use the new cpumask_ ops which take a pointer
(the older ones are deprecated, but there's no hurry for arch code).

Sam Ravnborg a439fe51a1 sparc, sparc64: use arch/sparc/include
The majority of this patch was created by the following script:

***
ASM=arch/sparc/include/asm
mkdir -p $ASM
git mv include/asm-sparc64/ftrace.h $ASM
git rm include/asm-sparc64/*
git mv include/asm-sparc/* $ASM
sed -ie 's/asm-sparc64/asm/g' $ASM/*
sed -ie 's/asm-sparc/asm/g' $ASM/*
***

The rest was an update of the top-level Makefile to use sparc
for header files when sparc64 is being build.
And a small fixlet to pick up the correct unistd.h from
sparc64 code.
