Patch series "Speedup mremap on ppc64", v8. This patchset enables MOVE_PMD/MOVE_PUD support on power. This requires the platform to support updating higher-level page tables without updating page table entries. This also needs to invalidate the Page Walk Cache on architecture supporting the same. This patch (of 3): Architectures like ppc64 support faster mremap only with radix translation. Hence allow a runtime check w.r.t support for fast mremap.

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.
