Pull parisc update from Helge Deller:
 "This patchset adds Huge Page and HUGETLBFS support for parisc"

Honestly, the hugepage support should have gone through in the merge
window, and is not really an rc-time fix.  But it only touches
arch/parisc, and I cannot find it in myself to care.  If one of the
three parisc users notices a breakage, I will point at Helge and make
rude farting noises.

* 'parisc-4.4-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux:
  parisc: Map kernel text and data on huge pages
  parisc: Add Huge Page and HUGETLBFS support
  parisc: Use long branch to do_syscall_trace_exit
  parisc: Increase initial kernel mapping to 32MB on 64bit kernel
  parisc: Initialize the fault vector earlier in the boot process.
  parisc: Add defines for Huge page support
  parisc: Drop unused MADV_xxxK_PAGES flags from asm/mman.h
  parisc: Drop definition of start_thread_som for HP-UX SOM binaries
  parisc: Fix wrong comment regarding first pmd entry flags

This patch adds huge page support to allow userspace to allocate huge
pages and to use hugetlbfs filesystem on 32- and 64-bit Linux kernels.
A later patch will add kernel support to map kernel text and data on
huge pages.

The only requirement is, that the kernel needs to be compiled for a
PA8X00 CPU (PA2.0 architecture). Older PA1.X CPUs do not support
variable page sizes. 64bit Kernels are compiled for PA2.0 by default.

Technically on parisc multiple physical huge pages may be needed to
emulate standard 2MB huge pages.

For the 64bit kernel the initially 16 MB kernel memory might become too
small if you build a kernel with many modules built-in and with kernel
text and data areas mapped on huge pages.

This patch increases the initial mapping to 32MB for 64bit kernels and
keeps 16MB for 32bit kernels.

Huge pages on parisc will have the same size as one pmd table, which
is on a 64bit kernel 2MB on a kernel with 4K kernel page sizes, and
on a 32bit kernel 4MB when used with 4K kernel pages.

Since parisc does not physically supports 2MB huge page sizes, emulate
it with two consecutive 1MB page sizes instead. Keeping the same huge
page size as one pmd will allow us to add transparent huge page support
later on.

Bit 21 in the pte flags was unused and will now be used to mark a page
as huge page (_PAGE_HPAGE_BIT).

The definition of start_thread_som was planned to be used to execute
HP-UX SOM binaries. Since HP-UX compatibility was dropped with kernel 4.0
there is no need to carry it further.
