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?
Okay. I'll fix this in v13.

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.
Okay. v13 will have this.

Could you rename entry -> pmdp, please?
Sure.

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.
That sounds valid code churn to me. But since x86 discussion is not
concluded yet, I would wait to share until that gets resolved. May be
not in v13 but separate effort. Would that be okay to you ?
