sparc64: xl-hugepages
Note: Resending this patch. There is no change in this patch since v1.
Jalap?no was verified repaired.
Now to find performance issues.
One performance issue is subordinate page table state (SPTS). The SPTS will
be tricky because of protection changes for COW and other. For example,
a 2Gb hugepage will have 1UL << (31-23) PMD entries. Do we want 256 IPI-s
for a hugepage TTE(pte) change?
