Traditionally Power server machines have used the Hashed Page Table MMU
mode. In this mode Linux manages its own tree of nested page tables,
aka. "the Linux page tables", which are not used by the hardware
directly, and software loads translations into the hash page table for
use by the hardware.
Power ISA 3.0 defines a new MMU mode, known as Radix Tree Translation,
where the hardware can directly operate on the Linux page tables.
However the hardware requires that the page tables be in big endian
format.
To accommodate this, switch the pgtable types to __be64 and add
appropriate endian conversions.
Because we will be supporting a single kernel binary that boots using
either radix or hash mode, we always store the Linux page tables big
endian, even in hash mode where they are not actually used by the
hardware.

[mpe: Fix sparse errors, flesh out change log]

We have five locations in 64-bit hash MMU code that do a cmpxchg() of a
PTE. Currently doing it inline OK, but in a future patch we will be
converting the PTEs to __be64 in some configs. In that case we will need
casts at every cmpxchg() site in order to keep sparse happy.
So move the logic into a helper, this is a reasonably nice cleanup on
its own.

We can get a hash pte fault with 4k base page size and find the pte
already inserted with 64K base page size. In that case we need to clear
the existing slot information from the old pte. Fix this correctly
With THP, we also clear the slot information with respect to all
the 64K hash pte mapping that 16MB page. They are all invalid
now. This make sure we don't find the slot valid when we fault with
4k base page size. Finding the slot valid should not result in any wrong
behavior because we do check again in hash page table for the validity.
But we can avoid that check completely.

Only difference here is, we apply the WIMG mapping early, so rflags
passed to updatepp will also be changed.

Instead of open coding it in multiple code paths, export the helper
and add more documentation. Also make sure we don't make assumption
regarding pte bit position

This free up 11 bits in pte_t. In the later patch we also change
the pte_t format so that we can start supporting migration pte
at pmd level. We now track 4k subpage valid bit as below
If we have _PAGE_COMBO set, we override the _PAGE_F_GIX_SHIFT
and _PAGE_F_SECOND. Together we have 4 bits, each of them
used to indicate whether any of the 4 4k subpage in that group
is valid. ie,
[ group 1 bit ] [ group 2 bit ] ..... [ group 4 ]
[ subpage 1 - 4] [ subpage 5- 8] ..... [ subpage 13 - 16]
We still track each 4k subpage slot number and secondary hash
information in the second half of pgtable_t. Removing the subpage
tracking have some significant overhead on aim9 and ebizzy benchmark and
to support THP with 4K subpage, we do need a pgtable_t of 4096 bytes.
