Android needs to move large memory regions for garbage collection. The GC requires moving physical pages of multi-gigabyte heap using mremap. During this move, the application threads have to be paused for correctness. It is critical to keep this pause as short as possible to avoid jitters during user interaction.
Optimize mremap for >= 1GB-sized regions by moving at the PUD/PGD level if the source and destination addresses are PUD-aligned. For CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS == 3, moving at the PUD level in effect moves PGD entries, since the PUD entry is “folded back” onto the PGD entry. Add HAVE_MOVE_PUD so that architectures where moving at the PUD level isn't supported/tested can turn this off by not selecting the config.

I thought I reported it, but maybe I didn't. This patch causes all 'parisc' qemu emulations to fail. Typical log:
Freeing unused kernel memory: 604K Write protected read-only-after-init data: 2k rodata_test: end of .rodata is not page size aligned Run /sbin/init as init process process '/bin/busybox' started with executable stack Failed to execute /sbin/init (error -12)
Reverting this patch fixes the problem.
Bisect log from linux-next below. The patch (and thus the problem) are now in mainline Linux.
