powerpc/mm/radix: Create separate mappings for hot-plugged memory
To enable memory unplug without splitting kernel page table mapping, we force the max mapping size to the LMB size. LMB size is the unit in which hypervisor will do memory add/remove operation. Pseries systems supports max LMB size of 256MB. Hence on pseries, we now end up mapping memory with 2M page size instead of 1G. To improve that we want hypervisor to hint the kernel about the hotplug memory range. That was added that as part of commit b6eca183 ("powerpc/kernel: Enables memory hot-remove after reboot on pseries guests") But PowerVM doesn't provide that hint yet. Once we get PowerVM updated, we can then force the 2M mapping only to hot-pluggable memory region using memblock_is_hotpluggable(). Till then let's depend on LMB size for finding the mapping page size for linear range. With this change KVM guest will also be doing linear mapping with 2M page size. The actual TLB benefit of mapping guest page table entries with hugepage size can only be materialized if the partition scoped entries are also using the same or higher page size. A guest using 1G hugetlbfs backing guest memory can have a performance impact with the above change.
