This is relatively easy since PMD's now cover exactly 4MB of memory.
Our PMD entries are 32-bits each, so we use a special encoding. The
lowest bit, PMD_ISHUGE, determines the interpretation. This is possible
because sparc64's page tables are purely software entities so we can use
whatever encoding scheme we want. We just have to make the TLB miss
assembler page table walkers aware of the layout.
set_pmd_at() works much like set_pte_at() but it has to operate in two
page from a table of non-huge PTEs, so we have to queue up TLB flushes
based upon what mappings are valid in the PTE table. In the second regime
we are going from huge-page to non-huge-page, and in that case we need
only queue up a single TLB flush to push out the huge page mapping.
We still have 5 bits remaining in the huge PMD encoding so we can very
likely support any new pieces of THP state tracking that might get added
in the future.
With lots of help from Johannes Weiner.

Thanks to testcase and report from Brad Spengler:
--------------------
#include <stdio.h>
typedef int (* _wee)(void);
int main(void)
{
char buf[8] = { '\x81', '\xc7', '\xe0', '\x08', '\x81', '\xe8',
'\x00', '\x00' };
_wee wee;
printf("%p\n", &buf);
wee = (_wee)&buf;
wee();
return 0;
}
--------------------
TSB I-tlb load code tries to use andcc to check the _PAGE_EXEC_4U bit,
but that's bit 12 so it gets sign extended all the way up to bit 63
and the test nearly always passes as a result.
Use sethi to fix the bug.

o Move all files from sparc64/kernel/ to sparc/kernel
- rename as appropriate
o Update sparc/Makefile to the changes
o Update sparc/kernel/Makefile to include the sparc64 files
NOTE: This commit changes link order on sparc64!
Link order had to change for either of sparc32 and sparc64.
And assuming sparc64 see more testing than sparc32 change link
order on sparc64 where issues will be caught faster.
