2009-03-20	powerpc/mm: Unify PTE_RPN_SHIFT and _PAGE_CHG_MASK definitions	Benjamin Herrenschmidt	1	-0/+2
	This updates the 32-bit headers to use the same definitions for the RPN shift inside the PTE as 64-bit, and thus updates _PAGE_CHG_MASK to become identical. This does introduce a runtime visible difference, which is that now, _PAGE_HASHPTE will be part of _PAGE_CHG_MASK and thus preserved. However this should have no practical effect as it should have been preserved in the first place and we got away with not having it there due to our PTE access functions preserving it anyway.

2009-03-20	powerpc/mm: Split the various pgtable-* headers based on MMU type	Benjamin Herrenschmidt	1	-0/+46
	This patch moves the definition of the PTE format for each MMU type to separate files instead of all in one file. This improves overall maintainability and will make it easier to add new types. On 64-bit, additionally, I've separated the headers relative to the format of the page table tree (3 vs. 4 levels for 64K vs 4K pages) from the headers specific to the PTE format for hash based processors, this will make it easier to add support for Book3 "E" 64-bit implementations. There are still some type-related ifdef's in the generic headers, we might remove them in the long run, but this patch shouldn't result in any code change, -hopefully- just definitions being moved around.
