Add interfaces to set and clear soft dirty in hugetlb ptes. Make hugetlb interfaces needed for /proc clear_refs available outside hugetlb.c. arch/s390 has it's own version of most routines in asm-generic/hugetlb.h, so add new routines there as well.

Do you know why it's special? E.g. huge_pte_wrprotect() of s390 version is actually the same of the default version. When I looked at the huge_pte_wrprotect() I also see that there seems to have no real user of __HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_PTE_WRPROTECT. Not sure whether it can be dropped. My gut feeling is that s390 should also include asm-generic/hugetlb.h but only redefine the helper only if necessary, since I see no point defining the same helper multiple times.
I do not know why s390 is special in this way. However, I did cc some s390 people and the list. Perhaps they know?

Actually, your patch "mm/hugetlb: Move flush_hugetlb_tlb_range() into hugetlb.h" makes this change unnecessary. But, the question about ppc remains. -- Mike Kravetz
