Christophe Leroy 7c44202e36 powerpc/e500: use contiguous PMD instead of hugepd

e500 supports many page sizes among which the following size are
implemented in the kernel at the time being: 4M, 16M, 64M, 256M, 1G.

On e500, TLB miss for hugepages is exclusively handled by SW even on e6500
which has HW assistance for 4k pages, so there are no constraints like on
the 8xx.

On e500/32, all are at PGD/PMD level and can be handled as cont-PMD.

On e500/64, smaller ones are on PMD while bigger ones are on PUD.  Again,
they can easily be handled as cont-PMD and cont-PUD instead of hugepd.

On e500/32, use the pagesize bits in PTE to know if it is a PMD or a leaf
entry.  This works because the pagesize bits are in the last 12 bits and
page tables are 4k aligned.

On e500/64, use highest bit which is always 1 on PxD (Because PxD contains
virtual address of a kernel memory) and always 0 on PTEs because not all
bits of RPN are used/possible.
