Aneesh Kumar K.V 235266b8e1 selftests/vm: move 128TB mmap boundary test to generic directory
Architectures like PPC64 support mmap hint address based large address
space selection.  This test can be run on those architectures too.  Move
the test from the x86 selftests to selftest/vm so that other
architectures can use it too.

We also add a few new test scenarios in this patch.  We do test a few
boundary conditions before we do a high address mmap.  PPC64 uses the
address limit to validate the address in the fault path.  We had bugs in
this area w.r.t SLB fault handling before we updated the addess limit.

We also touch the allocated space to make sure we don't have any bugs in
the fault handling path.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
