Re: [RFC][PATCH v3 10/22] mm, powerpc: add gfp flags variant ofpud, pte, and pte allocations

[Prasad Joshi]

changes for 32 bit architecture
 - Added __pte_alloc_one_kernel() to allocated zeroed page using
   allocation flag passed as an argument. If the slab allocator is not
   initialized the allocation flag is not passed down the call hierarchy.
   i.e. the call to early_get_page() is not modified.

- Changed pte_alloc_one_kernel() to call __pte_alloc_one_kernel() passing
  correct gfp_t flags.

changes for 64 bit architecture
- Added __pud_alloc_one() which is similar to pud_alloc_one(). This newly
  added function accepts allocation flag as a parameter and does the PUD
  allocation using this GFP flag.

- The function pud_alloc_one() is changed to call __pud_alloc_one() passing
  GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_REPEAT allocation flags.

- Similar changes for pmd (cache) and pte (page) allocations.

- The changes for both architectures help in fixing Bug 30702
