On ARC, lower 2G of address space is translated and used for
 - user vaddr space (region 0 to 5)
 - unused kernel-user gutter (region 6)
 - kernel vaddr space (region 7)

where each region simply represents 256MB of address space.

The kernel vaddr space of 256MB is used to implement vmalloc, modules
So far this was enough, but not on EZChip system with 4K CPUs (given
that per cpu mechanism uses vmalloc for allocating chunks)

So allow VMALLOC_SIZE to be configurable by expanding down into the unused
kernel-user gutter region which at default 256M was excessive anyways.

Also use _BITUL() to fix a build error since PGDIR_SIZE cannot use "1UL"
as called from assembly code in mm/tlbex.S

So a benign looking cleanup which macro'ized PAGE_SHIFT shifts turned
out to be bad (since it was done non-sensically across the board).

It caused boot failures with PAE40 as forced cast to (unsigned long)
from newly introduced virt_to_pfn() was causing truncatiion of the
(long long) pte/paddr values.

It is OK to use this in accessors dealing with kernel virtual address,
pointers etc, but not for PTE values themelves.

<title>ARC: mm: Introduce explicit super page size support</title>

MMUv4 supports 2 concurrent page sizes: Normal and Super [4K to 16M]

So far Linux supported a single super page size for a given Normal page,
depending on the software page walking address split.
e.g. we had 11:8:13 address split for 8K page, which meant super page
was 2 ^(8+13) = 2M (given that THP size has to be PMD_SHIFT)

Now we turn this around, by allowing multiple Super Pages in Kconfig
(currently 2M and 16M only) and forcing page walker address split to
PGDIR_SHIFT and PAGE_SHIFT

For configs without Super page, things are same as before and
PGDIR_SHIFT can be hacked to get non default address split

The motivation for this change is a customer who needs 16M super page
and a 8K Normal page combo.

Before we plug in highmem support, some of code needs to be ready for it
 - copy_user_highpage() needs to be using the kmap_atomic API
 - mk_pte() can't assume page_address()
 - do_page_fault() can't assume VMALLOC_END is end of kernel vaddr space

MMUv4 in HS38x cores supports Super Pages which are basis for Linux THP
support.

Normal and Super pages can co-exist (ofcourse not overlap) in TLB with a
new bit "SZ" in TLB page desciptor to distinguish between them.
Super Page size is configurable in hardware (4K to 16M), but fixed once
RTL builds.

The exact THP size a Linx configuration will support is a function of:
 - MMU page size (typical 8K, RTL fixed)
 - software page walker address split between PGD:PTE:PFN (typical
   11:8:13, but can be changed with 1 line)

So for above default, THP size supported is 8K * 256 = 2M

Default Page Walker is 2 levels, PGD:PTE:PFN, which in THP regime
reduces to 1 level (as PTE is folded into PGD and canonically referred
to as PMD).

Thus thp PMD accessors are implemented in terms of PTE (just like sparc)
