This changes the awkward approach where architectures provide init
functions to determine which levels they can provide large mappings for,
to one where the arch is queried for each call.

This removes code and indirection, and allows constant-folding of dead
code for unsupported levels.

This also adds a prot argument to the arch query. This is unused
currently but could help with some architectures (e.g., some powerpc
processors can't map uncacheable memory with large pages).

I think you should put this function in the CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, otherwise it may break the compile when disable the CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, the same
as the x86 and ppc.

Ah, good catch. arm64 is okay because it always selects 
HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, powerpc is okay because it places
them in a file that's only compiled for configs that select
huge vmap, but x86-32 without PAE build breaks. I'll fix that.

Thanks,
Nick
