    sparc64: Kill unnecessary tables and increase MAX_BANKS. · d195b71b

    swapper_low_pmd_dir and swapper_pud_dir are actually completely
    useless and unnecessary.
    
    We just need swapper_pg_dir[].  Naturally the other page table chunks
    will be allocated on an as-needed basis.  Since the kernel actually
    accesses these tables in the PAGE_OFFSET view, there is not even a TLB
    locality advantage of placing them in the kernel image.
    
    Use the hard coded vmlinux.ld.S slot for swapper_pg_dir which is
    naturally page aligned.
    
    Increase MAX_BANKS to 1024 in order to handle heavily fragmented
    virtual guests.
    
    Even with this MAX_BANKS increase, the kernel is 20K+ smaller.
