[PATCH 0/3] arm64: Use pte manipulation functions for THP

This series replaces the Transparent HugePage pmd manipulation
functions with calls to the standard pte functions. This allows the THP
code to take advantage of the new PTE_WRITE logic, and provides better
parity with the HugeTLB code (which already uses the pte functions).

Testing was done on the Fast Model with LTP THP tests, and the 3.14-rc1
kernel was used.

Steve Capper (3):
  arm64: mm: Remove PMD_BIT_FUNC macro
  arm64: mm: Route pmd thp functions through pte equivalents
  arm64: mm: Correct definition of pmd_mknotpresent
