[RFC-PATCH V2] ARM hugetlb support

[Bill Carson <bill4carson@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All

This is 2nd RFC PATCH for ARM huge page support. 2MB(two 1MB page)/16MB
huge page are supported, Versatile Express Cortex-A9x4 tile is used as test 
board. Verification is done with libhugetlbfs with both arm/thumb2 instruction.

ChangeLog From V1:
    - Drop L_PTE_HUGEPAGE defines
    - Check whether super-section is supported through mmfr3
    - Using mmu_context_t to store huge linux pte instead of mm_struct

Any suggestions would be truly welcome :)

Bill Carson(3)
    - Add hugetlb high level hooks
    - Using mmu_context_t to store huge linux pte
    - Introduce set_hugepte_ext to set hardware pte
