a4c28ab744 [POWERPC] Fix return from pte_alloc_one() in out-of-memory case
pte_alloc_one() is expected to return NULL if out of memory.
But it returns virt_to_page(NULL), which is not NULL.
This fixes it.

517e22638c [POWERPC] Don't use SLAB/SLUB for PTE pages
The SLUB allocator relies on struct page fields first_page and slab,
overwritten by ptl when SPLIT_PTLOCK: so the SLUB allocator cannot then
be used for the lowest level of pagetable pages.  This was obstructing
SLUB on PowerPC, which uses kmem_caches for its pagetables.  So convert
its pte level to use normal gfp pages (whereas pmd, pud and 64k-page pgd
want partpages, so continue to use kmem_caches for pmd, pud and pgd).

f88df14b1f [POWERPC] Remove arch/powerpc's dependence on asm-ppc/pg{alloc,table}.h
Currently, all 32-bit powerpc platforms use asm-ppc/pgtable.h and
asm-ppc/pgalloc.h, even when otherwise compiled with ARCH=powerpc.
Those asm-ppc files are a fairly nasty tangle of #ifdefs including a
bunch of things which shouldn't be necessary any more in arch/powerpc.

Cleaning up that mess is going to take a while, but this patch is a
first step.  It separates the asm-powerpc/pg{alloc,table}.h into 64
bit and 32 bit versions in asm-powerpc, which the basic .h files in
asm-powerpc select based on config.  We make a few tiny tweaks to the
innards of the files along the way, making the outermost ifdefs
(double-inclusion protection and __KERNEL__) a little cleaner, and
#including asm-generic/pgtable.h from the top-level
asm-powerpc/pgtable.h (since both the old 32-bit and 64-bit versions
ended with such an #include).
