This series is an update to the PUD hugepage support previously posted
at [0]. This patchset adds support for PUD hugepages at stage 2 a
feature that is useful on cores that have support for large sized TLB
mappings (e.g., 1GB for 4K granule).

The patches are based on the latest upstream kernel.

The patches have been tested on AMD Seattle system with the following
hugepage sizes - 2M and 1G.

Thanks,
Punit

v8 -> v9

* Dropped bugfix patch 1 which has been merged

v7 -> v8

* Add kvm_stage2_has_pud() helper on arm32
* Rebased to v6 of 52bit dynamic IPA support

v6 -> v7

* Restrict thp check to exclude hugetlbfs pages - Patch 1
* Don't update PUD entry if there's no change - Patch 9
* Add check for PUD level in stage 2 - Patch 9

v5 -> v6

* Split Patch 1 to move out the refactoring of exec permissions on
  page table entries.
* Patch 4 - Initialise p*dpp pointers in stage2_get_leaf_entry()
* Patch 5 - Trigger a BUG() in kvm_pud_pfn() on arm

v4 -> v5:
* Patch 1 - Drop helper stage2_should_exec() and refactor the
  condition to decide if a page table entry should be marked
  executable
* Patch 4-6 - Introduce stage2_get_leaf_entry() and use it in this and
  latter patches
* Patch 7 - Use stage 2 accessors instead of using the page table
  helpers directly
* Patch 7 - Add a note to update the PUD hugepage support when number
  of levels of stage 2 tables differs from stage 1

v3 -> v4:
* Patch 1 and 7 - Don't put down hugepages pte if logging is enabled
* Patch 4-5 - Add PUD hugepage support for exec and access faults
* Patch 6 - PUD hugepage support for aging page table entries

v2 -> v3:
* Update vma_pagesize directly if THP [1/4]. Previsouly this was done
  indirectly via hugetlb
* Added review tag [4/4]

v1 -> v2:
* Create helper to check if the page should have exec permission [1/4]
* Fix broken condition to detect THP hugepage [1/4]
* Fix in-correct hunk resulting from a rebase [4/4]
