Nitin Gupta c7d9f77d33 sparc64: Multi-page size support
Add support for using multiple hugepage sizes simultaneously
on mainline. Currently, support for 256M has been added which
can be used along with 8M pages.

Page tables are set like this (e.g. for 256M page):
    VA + (8M * x) -> PA + (8M * x) (sz bit = 256M) where x in [0, 31]

and TSB is set similarly:
    VA + (4M * x) -> PA + (4M * x) (sz bit = 256M) where x in [0, 63]

- Testing

Tested on Sonoma (which supports 256M pages) by running stream
benchmark instances in parallel: one instance uses 8M pages and
another uses 256M pages, consuming 48G each.

Boot params used:

default_hugepagesz=256M hugepagesz=256M hugepages=300 hugepagesz=8M
hugepages=10000

README

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
