[PATCH 11/13] mm, powerpc: Move the RCU page-table freeing into generic code

[Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>]

[-- Attachment #1: peter_zijlstra-mm_powerpc-move_the_rcu_page-table_freeing_into.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 12871 bytes --]

In case other architectures require RCU freed page-tables to implement
gup_fast() and software filled hashes and similar things, provide the
means to do so by moving the logic into generic code.
