------------------------------------------------------ From: Toshi Kani toshi.kani@hpe.com Subject: x86/mm: implement free pmd/pte page interfaces
Implement pud_free_pmd_page() and pmd_free_pte_page() on x86, which clear a given pud/pmd entry and free up lower level page table(s). Address range associated with the pud/pmd entry must have been purged by INVLPG.
