[PATCH 2/8] sparc64: Halve the size of PTE tables.

2012-10-02 Thread David Miller
The reason we want to do this is to facilitate transparent huge page support. Right now PMD's cover 8MB of address space, and our huge page size is 4MB. The current transparent hugepage support is not able to handle HPAGE_SIZE != PMD_SIZE. So make PTE tables be sized to half of a page instead
