[RFC PATCH 2/4] mm: support Svnapot in physical page linear-mapping

From: Qinglin Pan <panqinglin2020 at iscas.ac.cn>

Svnapot is powerful when a physical region is going to mapped to a
virtual region. Kernel will do like this when mapping all allocable
physical pages to kernel vm space. This patch modify the
create_pte_mapping function used in linear-mapping procedure, so the
kernel can be able to use Svnapot when both address and length of
physical region are 64KB align. Code here will be executed only when
other size huge page is not suitable, so it can be an addition of
PMD_SIZE and PUD_SIZE mapping.

It is tested by setting qemu's memory to a 262272k region, and the
kernel can boot successfully.
