Hi,

These patches convert several architectures to use page table folding and
remove __ARCH_HAS_5LEVEL_HACK along with include/asm-generic/5level-fixup.h.

The changes are mostly about mechanical replacement of pgd accessors with p4d
ones and the addition of higher levels to page table traversals.

All the patches were sent separately to the respective arch lists and
maintainers hence the "v2" prefix.
You fail to explain why this change which adds 488 additional lines of
code is desirable.
