Introduce set_hidx_slot() which sets the (H_PAGE_F_SECOND|H_PAGE_F_GIX) bits at the appropriate location in the PTE of 4K PTE. In the case of 64K PTE, it sets the bits in the second part of the PTE. Though the implementation for the former just needs the slot parameter, it does take some additional parameters to keep the prototype consistent. This function will come in handy as we work towards re-arranging the bits in the later patches.The name somewhat sucks. Something like pte_set_hash_slot() or something like that would be much more meaningful.
ok. pte_set_hash_slot() sounds good. RP
