[PATCH v2 0/3] arm64/mm: use the contiguous attribute for kernel mappings

[ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org (Ard Biesheuvel)]

This 3-piece series is a followup to the single patch 'arm64: mmu: set the
contiguous for kernel mappings when appropriate' sent out on the 10th [0].

This v2 addresses the following issues:
- the contiguous attribute is also useful for contigous PMD mappings on 16k
  granule kernels (i.e., 1 GB blocks)
- the function parameter 'block_mappings_allowed' does not clearly convey
  whether contiguous page mappings should be used, so it is renamed to
  'page_mappings_only', and its meaning inverted
- instead of BUGging on changes in the PTE_CONT attribute in PMD or PTE entries
  that have been populated already, BUG on any modification except for
  permission attributes, which don't require break-before-make when changed.
