The current stage2 page-table allocator uses a memcache to get
pre-allocated pages when it needs any. To allow re-using this code at
EL2 which uses a concept of memory pools, make the memcache argument to
kvm_pgtable_stage2_map() anonymous. and let the mm_ops zalloc_page()
callbacks use it the way they need to.

We should probably mention that this memory must be zeroed, since I don't
think the page-table code takes care of that.
OK, though I think this is unrelated to this change -- this is already
true today I believe. Anyhow, I'll pile a change on top.

Cheers,
Quentin
