The PAPR document specifies the TLB Block Invalidate Characteristics
which tells for each pair of segment base page size, actual page size,
the size of the block the hcall H_BLOCK_REMOVE supports.
These characteristics are loaded at boot time in a new table
hblkr_size. The table is separate from the mmu_psize_def because this
is specific to the pseries platform.
A new init function, pseries_lpar_read_hblkrm_characteristics() is
added to read the characteristics. It is called from
pSeries_setup_arch().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
