Patch series "mm: remove quicklist page table caches".
A while ago Nicholas proposed to remove quicklist page table caches [1].
I've rebased his patch on the curren upstream and switched ia64 and sh to
use generic versions of PTE allocation.

This patch (of 3):
Remove page table allocator "quicklists". These have been around for a
long time, but have not got much traction in the last decade and are only
used on ia64 and sh architectures.
The numbers in the initial commit look interesting but probably don't
apply anymore. If anybody wants to resurrect this it's in the git
history, but it's unhelpful to have this code and divergent allocator
behaviour for minor archs.
Also it might be better to instead make more general improvements to page
allocator if this is still so slow.

The csky implementation pte_alloc_one(), pte_free_kernel() and pte_free()
is identical to the generic except of lack of __GFP_ACCOUNT for the user
PTEs allocation.
Switch csky to use generic version of these functions.
The csky implementation of pte_alloc_one_kernel() is not replaced because
it does not clear the allocated page but rather sets each PTE in it to a
non-zero value.
The pte_free_kernel() and pte_free() versions on csky are identical to the
generic ones and can be simply dropped.

This patch adds files related to memory management and here is our
memory-layout:
Fixmap : 0xffc02000 – 0xfffff000 (4 MB - 12KB)
Pkmap : 0xff800000 – 0xffc00000 (4 MB)
Vmalloc : 0xf0200000 – 0xff000000 (238 MB)
Lowmem : 0x80000000 – 0xc0000000 (1GB)
abiv1 CPU (CK610) is VIPT cache and it doesn't support highmem.
abiv2 CPUs are all PIPT cache and they could support highmem.
Lowmem is directly mapped by msa0 & msa1 reg, and we needn't setup
memory page table for it.
