[PATCH V3 1/2] mm: move FAULT_AROUND_ORDER to arch/

[Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Kirill A. Shutemov with 8c6e50b029 commit introduced
vm_ops->map_pages() for mapping easy accessible pages around
fault address in hope to reduce number of minor page faults.

This patch creates infrastructure to modify the FAULT_AROUND_ORDER
value using mm/Kconfig. This will enable architecture maintainers
to decide on suitable FAULT_AROUND_ORDER value based on
performance data for that architecture. Patch also defaults
FAULT_AROUND_ORDER Kconfig element to 4.
