[PATCH 0/5] arm64/mm: Drop PXD_TABLE_BIT

[Anshuman Khandual]

Clearing PXD_TABLE_BIT i.e bit[1] on a page table entry always operates on
the assumption that subsequent PXD_VALID i.e bit[0] is set. That's because
bits[1:0]="01" makes a block mapping. So it is prudent to treat bits[1:0]
as a single register field, which should be updated as block or table etc.
Although mk_[pmd|pud]_sect_prot() helpers go to some extent in using these
PXD_TYPE_SECT macros, their usage is not really consistent else where.

This series removes these table bit clearing for block mapping creation and
eventually completely drops off those table macros.

This series applies on v6.12-rc1.
