Support huge pfnmaps by using bit 56 (PTE_SPECIAL) for "special" on pmds/puds. Provide the pmd/pud helpers to set/get special bit. There's one more thing missing for arm64 which is the pxx_pgprot() for pmd/pud. Add them too, which is mostly the same as the pte version by dropping the pfn field. These helpers are essential to be used in the new follow_pfnmap*() API to report valid pgprot_t results. Note that arm64 doesn't yet support huge PUD yet, but it's still straightforward to provide the pud helpers that we need altogether. Only PMD helpers will make an immediate benefit until arm64 will support huge PUDs first in general (e.g. in THPs).

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 reStructuredText 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.
