Laurent Dufour 1211ee61b4 powerpc/pseries: Read TLB Block Invalidate Characteristics
The PAPR document specifies the TLB Block Invalidate Characteristics
which tells for each pair of segment base page size, actual page size,
the size of the block the hcall H_BLOCK_REMOVE supports.

These characteristics are loaded at boot time in a new table
hblkr_size. The table is separate from the mmu_psize_def because this
is specific to the pseries platform.

A new init function, pseries_lpar_read_hblkrm_characteristics() is
added to read the characteristics. It is called from
pSeries_setup_arch().

Fixes: ba2dd8a26b ("powerpc/pseries/mm: call H_BLOCK_REMOVE")

README

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.
