From: Radha Mohan Chintakuntla <rchintakuntla@cavium.com>

This patch series provides an implementation of supporting 48-bit
Physical Addresses for ARMv8 platforms. It is the maximum width that
any ARMv8 based processor can support. 

The implementation extends the existing support of 40-bit PA.The kernel
and user space will now be able to access 128TB each. With 4KB page size
the Linux now will be using 4 levels of page tables by making use of
'pud'. And with 64KB page size the Linux will be using 3 levels of page
tables.

The code has been tested with LTP.
