Nicholas Piggin bbc180a5ad mm: HUGE_VMAP arch support cleanup
This changes the awkward approach where architectures provide init
functions to determine which levels they can provide large mappings for,
to one where the arch is queried for each call.

This removes code and indirection, and allows constant-folding of dead
code for unsupported levels.

This also adds a prot argument to the arch query.  This is unused
currently but could help with some architectures (e.g., some powerpc
processors can't map uncacheable memory with large pages).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
