This is an incomplete implementation of the kernel parts of the PAPR
hashed page table (HPT) resizing extension.

It contains a complete guest-side implementation - or as complete as
it can be until we have a final PAPR change.

It also contains preliminary patches towards a host side
implementation for KVM HV (the KVM PR and TCG host-side
implementations live in qemu).  This isn't working yet, but has an
outline of the approach.

I'm hoping particularly for comment on the locking / synchronization
between the resizing work thread and the hypercalls in patch 18/18.
This is much hairier than I'd like, in order to handle the various
failure / cancellation paths, but as yet I haven't seen a simpler way
of accomplishing what we need.

David Gibson (18):
  powerpc/mm: Clean up error handling for htab_remove_mapping
  powerpc/mm: Handle removing maybe-present bolted HPTEs
  powerpc/mm: Clean up memory hotplug failure paths
  powerpc/mm: Split hash page table sizing heuristic into a helper
  pseries: Add hypercall wrappers for hash page table resizing
  pseries: Add support for hash table resizing
  pseries: Advertise HPT resizing support via CAS
  pseries: Automatically resize HPT for memory hot add/remove
  powerpc/kvm: Corectly report KVM_CAP_PPC_ALLOC_HTAB
  powerpc/kvm: Add capability flag for hashed page table resizing
  powerpc/kvm: Rename kvm_alloc_hpt() for clarity
  powerpc/kvm: Gather HPT related variables into sub-structure
  powerpc/kvm: Don't store values derivable from HPT order
  powerpc/kvm: Split HPT allocation from activation
  powerpc/kvm: Allow KVM_PPC_ALLOCATE_HTAB ioctl() to change HPT size
  powerpc/kvm: HPT resizing stub implementation
  powerpc/kvm: Advertise availablity of HPT resizing on KVM HV
  powerpc/kvm: Outline of HPT resizing implementation
