7f2e9525ba hugetlbfs: common code update for s390
Huge ptes have a special type on s390 and cannot be handled with the standard
pte functions in certain cases, e.g.  because of a different location of the
invalid bit.  This patch adds some new architecture- specific functions to
hugetlb common code, as a prerequisite for the s390 large page support.

This won't affect other architectures in functionality, but I need to add some
new dummy inline functions to the headers.

8fe627ec5b hugetlbfs: add missing TLB flush to hugetlb_cow()
A cow break on a hugetlbfs page with page_count > 1 will set a new pte with
set_huge_pte_at(), w/o any tlb flush operation.  The old pte will remain in
the tlb and subsequent write access to the page will result in a page fault
loop, for as long as it may take until the tlb is flushed from somewhere else.
 This patch introduces an architecture-specific huge_ptep_clear_flush()
function, which is called before the the set_huge_pte_at() in hugetlb_cow().

ATTENTION: This is just a nop on all architectures for now, the s390
implementation will come with our large page patch later.  Other architectures
should define their own huge_ptep_clear_flush() if needed.

6d779079bf hugetlbfs: architecture header cleanup
This patch moves all architecture functions for hugetlb to architecture header
files (include/asm-foo/hugetlb.h) and converts all macros to inline functions.
 It also removes (!) ARCH_HAS_HUGEPAGE_ONLY_RANGE,
ARCH_HAS_HUGETLB_FREE_PGD_RANGE, ARCH_HAS_PREPARE_HUGEPAGE_RANGE,
ARCH_HAS_SETCLEAR_HUGE_PTE and ARCH_HAS_HUGETLB_PREFAULT_HOOK.

Getting rid of the ARCH_HAS_xxx #ifdef and macro fugliness should increase
readability and maintainability, at the price of some code duplication.  An
asm-generic common part would have reduced the loc, but we would end up with
new ARCH_HAS_xxx defines eventually.
