[PATCH v12 4/5] arm64: Implement page table free interfaces

Implement pud_free_pmd_page() and pmd_free_pte_page().

Implementation requires,
 1) Clearing off the current pud/pmd entry
 2) Invalidate TLB which could have previously
    valid but not stale entry
 3) Freeing of the un-used next level page tables
Please can you rewrite this describing the problem that you're solving,
rather than a brief summary of some requirements?

Just some stylistic stuff, but please can you rewrite this as:

	if (!pud_present(pud) || VM_WARN_ON(!pud_table(pud)))
		return 1;

similarly for the pmd/pte code above.
+		table = pud_page_vaddr(pud);
+		entry = table;
Could you rename entry -> pmdp, please?
+		next = addr;
+		end = addr + PUD_SIZE;
+		do {
+			pmd_free_pte_page(entry, next);

So with these patches, we only ever return 1 from these helpers. It looks
like the same is true for x86, so how about we make them void and move the
calls inside the conditionals in lib/ioremap.c? Obviously, this would be a
separate patch on the end.
