Update comments (only) on page_table_lock and mmap_sem in arch/powerpc.
Removed the comment on page_table_lock from hash_huge_page: since it's no
longer taking page_table_lock itself, it's irrelevant whether others are; but
how it is safe (even against huge file truncation?) I can't say.

Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel
base page size to 64K. The resulting kernel still boots on any
hardware. On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel
will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently.
Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch
will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm
still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the
information from the newer hypervisors.

This moves the remaining files in arch/ppc64/mm to arch/powerpc/mm,
and arranges that we use them when compiling with ARCH=ppc64.
