With the PTE-tables now only being 256 bytes, allocating a full page for them is a giant waste. Start by improving the boot time allocator such that init_mm initialization will at least have optimal memory density. Much thanks to Will Deacon in help with debugging and ferreting out lost information on these dusty MMUs. Notes: - _TABLE_MASK is reduced to account for the shorter (256 byte) alignment of pte-tables, per the manual, table entries should only ever have state in the low 4 bits (Used,WrProt,Desc1,Desc0) so it is still longer than strictly required. (Thanks Will!!!) - Also use kernel_page_table() for the 020/030 zero_pgtable case and consequently remove the zero_pgtable init hack (will fix up later).

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.
