[PATCH 3/8] sparc64: Eliminate PTE table memory wastage.

[David Miller]

We've split up the PTE tables so that they take up half a page instead
of a full page.  This is in order to facilitate transparent huge page
support, which works much better if our PMDs cover 4MB instead of 8MB.

What we do is have a one-behind cache for PTE table allocations in the
mm struct.

This logic triggers only on allocations.  For example, we don't try to
keep track of free'd up page table blocks in the style that the s390
port does.

We never allocate from this cache from interrupts, so we can access it
safely using only preemption protection.

There were only two slightly annoying aspects to this change:

1) Changing pgtable_t to be a "pte_t *".  There's all of this special
   logic in the TLB free paths that needed adjustments, as did the
   PMD populate interfaces.

2) init_new_context() needs to zap the pointer, since the mm struct
   just gets copied from the parent on fork.
