This series adds a test validation for architecture exported page table
helpers. Patch in the series adds basic transformation tests at various
levels of the page table. Before that it exports gigantic page allocation
function from HugeTLB.

This test was originally suggested by Catalin during arm64 THP migration
RFC discussion earlier. Going forward it can include more specific tests
with respect to various generic MM functions like THP, HugeTLB etc and
platform specific tests.

Testing:

Successfully build and boot tested on both arm64 and x86 platforms without
any test failing. Only build tested on some other platforms. Build failed
on some platforms (known) in pud_clear_tests() as there were no available
__pgd() definitions.

- ARM32
- IA64

Hm. Grep shows __pgd() definitions for both of them. Is it for specific
config?

 
For ARM32 it's defined only for 3-lelel page tables, i.e with LPAE on.
For IA64 it's defined for !STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS which is even not a config
option, but a define in arch/ia64/include/asm/page.h
