	This patch tweaks the way some PTE bit combinations are defined, in such a way that the 32 and 64-bit variant become almost identical and that will make it easier to bring in a new common pte-* file for the new variant of the Book3-E support. The combination of bits defining access to kernel pages are now clearly separated from the combination used by userspace and the core VM. The resulting generated code should remain identical unless I made a mistake. Note: While at it, I removed a non-sensical statement related to CONFIG_KGDB in ppc_mmu_32.c which could cause kernel mappings to be user accessible when that option is enabled. Probably something that bitrot. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2009-03-20	powerpc/mm: Split the various pgtable-* headers based on MMU type	Benjamin Herrenschmidt
	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.
