The pfn_t type uses an unsigned long to store a pfn + flags value. On a
64-bit platform the upper 12 bits of an unsigned long are never used for
storing the value of a pfn. However, this is not true on highmem
platforms, all 32-bits of a pfn value are used to address a 44-bit
physical address space. A pfn_t needs to store a 64-bit value.

For the purpose of communicating the optional presence of a 'struct
page' for the pfn returned from ->direct_access(), introduce a type that
encapsulates a page-frame-number plus flags. These flags contain the
historical "page_link" encoding for a scatterlist entry, but can also
denote "device memory". Where "device memory" is a set of pfns that are
not part of the kernel's linear mapping by default, but are accessed via
the same memory controller as ram.
The motivation for this new type is large capacity persistent memory
that needs struct page entries in the 'memmap' to support 3rd party DMA
(i.e. O_DIRECT I/O with a persistent memory source/target). However,
we also need it in support of maintaining a list of mapped inodes which
need to be unmapped at driver teardown or freeze_bdev() time.

__phys_to_pfn and __pfn_to_phys are symmetric, PHYS_PFN and PFN_PHYS are
semmetric:
- y = (phys_addr_t)x << PAGE_SHIFT
- y >> PAGE_SHIFT = (phys_add_t)x
- (unsigned long)(y >> PAGE_SHIFT) = x

PFN_PHYS, as its name suggests, turns a pfn into a physical address.
However, it is a macro which just operates on its argument without
modifying its type. pfns are typed unsigned long, but an unsigned
long may not be long enough to hold a physical address (32-bit systems
with more than 32 bits of physcial address).
Make sure we cast to phys_addr_t to return a complete result.

Just about every architecture defines some macros to do operations on pfns.
They're all virtually identical. This patch consolidates all of them.
One minor glitch is that at least i386 uses them in a very skeletal header
file. To keep away from #include dependency hell, I stuck the new
definitions in a new, isolated header.
Of all of the implementations, sh64 is the only one that varied by a bit.
It used some masks to ensure that any sign-extension got ripped away before
the arithmetic is done. This has been posted to that sh64 maintainers and
the development list.
Compiles on x86, x86_64, ia64 and ppc64.
