d28513bc7f powerpc/mm: Fix pgtable cache cleanup with CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT
Commit a0668cdc15 cleans up the handling
of kmem_caches for allocating various levels of pagetables.
Unfortunately, it conflicts badly with CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT, due to
the latter's cleverly hidden technique of adding some extra allocation
space to the top level page directory to store the extra information
it needs.

Since that extra allocation really doesn't fit into the cleaned up
page directory allocating scheme, this patch alters
CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT to instead allocate its struct
subpage_prot_table as part of the mm_context_t.

5a7b4193e5 Revert "powerpc/mm: Fix bug in pagetable cache cleanup with CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT"
This reverts commit c045256d14.

It breaks build when CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT is not set. I will
commit a fixed version separately

e85a47106a Split init_new_context and destroy_context
For KVM we need to allocate a new context id, but don't really care about
all the mm context around it.

So let's split the alloc and destroy functions for the context id, so we can
grab one without allocating an mm context.

5e696617c4 powerpc/mm: Split mmu_context handling
This splits the mmu_context handling between 32-bit hash based
processors, 64-bit hash based processors and everybody else.  This is
preliminary work for adding SMP support for BookE processors.
