powerpc/mm: Split the various pgtable-* headers based on MMU type
This patch moves the definition of the PTE format for each MMU type to separate files instead of all in one file. This improves overall maintainability and will make it easier to add new types. On 64-bit, additionally, I've separated the headers relative to the format of the page table tree (3 vs. 4 levels for 64K vs 4K pages) from the headers specific to the PTE format for hash based processors, this will make it easier to add support for Book3 "E" 64-bit implementations. There are still some type-related ifdef's in the generic headers, we might remove them in the long run, but this patch shouldn't result in any code change, -hopefully- just definitions being moved around.

+/*
+ * The PowerPC MPC8xx uses a TLB with hardware assisted, software tablewalk.
+ * We also use the two level tables, but we can put the real bits in them
+ * needed for the TLB and tablewalk. These definitions require Mx_CTR.PPM = 0,
+ * Mx_CTR.PPCS = 0, and MD_CTR.TWAM = 1. The level 2 descriptor has
+ * additional page protection (when Mx_CTR.PPCS = 1) that allows TLB hit
+ * based upon user/super access. The TLB does not have accessed nor write
+ * protect. We assume that if the TLB get loaded with an entry it is
+ * accessed, and overload the changed bit for write protect. We use
+ * two bits in the software pte that are supposed to be set to zero in
+ * the TLB entry (24 and 25) for these indicators. Although the level 1
+ * descriptor contains the guarded and writethrough/copyback bits, we can
+ * set these at the page level since they get copied from the Mx_TWC
+ * register when the TLB entry is loaded. We will use bit 27 for guard, since
+ * that is where it exists in the MD_TWC, and bit 26 for writethrough.
+ * These will get masked from the level 2 descriptor at TLB load time, and
+ * copied to the MD_TWC before it gets loaded.
+ * Large page sizes added. We currently support two sizes, 4K and 8M.
+ * This also allows a TLB hander optimization because we can directly
+ * load the PMD into MD_TWC. The 8M pages are only used for kernel
+ * mapping of well known areas. The PMD (PGD) entries contain control
+ * flags in addition to the address, so care must be taken that the
+ * software no longer assumes these are only pointers.
