[PATCH v5 0/9] arm64: Enable contiguous pte hugepage support

[Punit Agrawal <punit.agrawal@arm.com>]

Hi,

This series re-enables contiguous hugepage support for arm64. Support
for contiguous hugepages is useful on systems where the PMD hugepage
size is too large (512MB hugepage when using 64k page granule) and
contiguous hugepages can be used to provide reasonable hugepage sizes
to the user.

Previous postings can be found at [0], [1], [4], [5].

The patches can be split as

* Patches 1-3, 9 cleanups and improvements

* Patch 4 addresses the break-before-make requirement of the
  architecture for contiguous hugepages.

* Patch 5-7 add support for handling swap entries for contiguous pte
  hugepages.

* Patch 8 enables contiguous hugepage support for arm64

All the dependent series ([2], [3]) for enabling contiguous hugepage
support have been merged in the previous cycle. Additionally, a patch
to clarify the semantics of huge_pte_offset() in generic code[6] is
currently in the -mm tree.

The patches are based on v4.13-rc3. If there are no further comments
please consider merging for the next release cycle.

Thanks,
Punit
