      [ARM] Fix slab corruption issues triggered with pud_t integration. · fb5ab0d6
      Russell King authored
      When the page tables are wrapped from 4 levels to 2 levels, the new
      MM code requires PMD_SHIFT to match PUD_SHIFT, which must also
      match PGDIR_SHIFT.  If PMD_SHIFT is smaller than PUD_SHIFT, we risk
      freeing a still-in-use table (== page) which can then get re-used
      for the slab cache.
      
      Testing and inspection shows that there isn't any real benefit from
      keeping PMD_SHIFT set to 20.
      
      In addition, add some comments concerning the granularity of
      alloc_init_section() and fix a missing PMD assignment in the
      rebooting code.  Somehow we managed to get away with that, although
      it is actually wrong.  Maybe I've just been lucky until now.
