Merging it now will make x86 5-level paging enabling in v4.12 easier. The first patch is actually x86-specific: detect 5-level paging support. It boils down to single define. The rest of patchset converts Linux MMU abstraction from 4- to 5-level paging. Enabling of new abstraction in most cases requires adding single line of code in arch-specific code. The rest is taken care by asm-generic/. Changes to mm/ code are mostly mechanical: add support for new page table level -- p4d_t -- where we deal with pud_t now. v2: - fix build on microblaze (Michal); - comment for __ARCH_HAS_5LEVEL_HACK in kasan_populate_zero_shadow(); - acks from Michal" * emailed patches from Kirill A Shutemov : mm: introduce __p4d_alloc() mm: convert generic code to 5-level paging asm-generic: introduce arch, mm: convert all architectures to use 5level-fixup.h asm-generic: introduce __ARCH_USE_5LEVEL_HACK asm-generic: introduce 5level-fixup.h x86/cpufeature: Add 5-level paging detection --- baeedc7158da5b0f489d04125ba6adfba532a6f7
