__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations.
pte_alloc_one{_kernel}, pmd_alloc_one allocate PTE_ORDER resp.
PMD_ORDER but both are not larger than 1. This means that this flag has
never been actually useful here because it has always been used only for
PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.

For 64-bit kernels with 64KB pages and two level page tables, there are
42 bits worth of virtual address space This is larger than the 40 bits of
virtual address space obtained with the default 4KB Page size and three
levels, so there are no draw backs for using two level tables with this
configuration.

mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()
Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture
will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when
freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works.
Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole
virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE
page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry
RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct
entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted,
we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions.
The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks
too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and
almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the
argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.
