This set of patches adds support for the Large Physical Extensions on
the ARM architecture (available with the Cortex-A15 processor). LPAE
comes with a 3-level page table format (compared to 2-level for the
classic one), allowing up to 40-bit physical address space.

The ARM LPAE documentation is available from (free registration needed):

The full set of patches on top of linux-next (LPAE, support for an
emulated Versatile Express with Cortex-A15 tile and generic timers) is
available on this branch:

FYI, I'm going to drop the pgt patch because the warnings are still there
and I _still_ don't feel happy about pushing that into mainline and then
being endlessly bugged about it.

So I'll drop it from my tree again and re-merge that branch after this
window has closed.
