[PATCH 00/18] ARC mm updates to support 3 or 4 levels of paging

Hi,

Big pile of ARC mm changes to prepare for 3 or 4 levels of paging (from
current 2) needed for new hardware page walked MMUv6 (in aRCv3 ISA based
cores).

Most of these changes are incremental cleanups to make way for 14/18 and
15/18 which actually imeplement the new levels (in existing ARCv2 port)
and worth a critical eye.

CC'ing some of you guys dealing with page tables for a while :-)
to spot any obvious gotchas.

Thx,
-Vineet
