For 64-bit kernels with 64KB pages and two level page tables, there are
42 bits worth of virtual address space This is larger than the 40 bits of
virtual address space obtained with the default 4KB Page size and three
levels, so there are no draw backs for using two level tables with this
configuration.

Linux kernel 2.6.32 and later allocate address space from the top of the
kernel virtual memory address space.
This patch implements virtual memory size detection for 64 bit MIPS CPUs
to avoid resulting crashes.

By combining swapper_pg_dir and module_pg_dir, several if conditions
can be eliminated from the tlb exception handler. The reason they
can be combined is that, the effective virtual address of vmalloc
returned is at the bottom, and of module_alloc returned is at the
top. It also fixes the bug in vmalloc(), which happens when its
return address is not covered by the first pgd.

Beyond the requirements of the architecture standard Cavium also supports
8k and 32k pages.
