Hi,

This patch series removes hash pte slot tracking in linux page table.
This free up 4 bits from linux page table and brings the hash and radix
linux page table closer. The series also attempt remove __real_pte_t
because without slot tracking 4k subpage and 64k page , pte formats
are similar. 

However not tracking slot implies we search the hash group during invalidate
and updatepp operations. That involves searching max 16 slots to find the
matching hash page table entry. W.r.t subpages, since we don't track the
validity of slots, when invalidating 64K page, we ends up calling invalidate
for all subpages irrespective of whether we have taken a subpage
fault or not.

W.r.t THP, we skip the above and still track slots in level deposited page table.

The patch series do have an impact, hence i am sending this as an RFC series
before doing further measurements with kvm. On baremetal a kernel build gives.

Without patch:
/usr/bin/time -p make  vmlinux modules > /dev/null
real 270.70
user 280.23
sys 57.99

With patch
/usr/bin/time -p make  vmlinux modules > /dev/null
real 272.97
user 281.32
sys 61.46

That is 6% impact on system time:  The real time impact is within the runtime
variance. 

Let me know if you think we should continue with this approach.
