Heiko Carstens e76e82d772 s390/mm: add page table dumper 
This is more or less the same as the x86 page table dumper which was
merged four years ago: 926e5392 "x86: add code to dump the (kernel)
page tables for visual inspection by kernel developers".

We add a file at /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_page_tables for debugging
purposes so it's quite easy to see the kernel page table layout and
possible odd mappings:

---[ Identity Mapping ]---
0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000100000        1M PTE RW
---[ Kernel Image Start ]---
0x0000000000100000-0x0000000000800000        7M PMD RO
0x0000000000800000-0x00000000008a9000      676K PTE RO
0x00000000008a9000-0x0000000000900000      348K PTE RW
0x0000000000900000-0x0000000001500000       12M PMD RW
---[ Kernel Image End ]---
0x0000000001500000-0x0000000280000000    10219M PMD RW
0x0000000280000000-0x000003d280000000     3904G PUD I
---[ vmemmap Area ]---
0x000003d280000000-0x000003d288c00000      140M PTE RW
0x000003d288c00000-0x000003d300000000     1908M PMD I
0x000003d300000000-0x000003e000000000       52G PUD I
---[ vmalloc Area ]---
0x000003e000000000-0x000003e000009000       36K PTE RW
0x000003e000009000-0x000003e0000ee000      916K PTE I
0x000003e0000ee000-0x000003e000146000      352K PTE RW
0x000003e000146000-0x000003e000200000      744K PTE I
0x000003e000200000-0x000003e080000000     2046M PMD I
0x000003e080000000-0x0000040000000000      126G PUD I

This usually makes only sense for kernel developers. The output
with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is not very helpful, because of the
huge number of mapped out pages, however I decided for the time
being to not add a !DEBUG_PAGEALLOC dependency.
Maybe it's helpful for somebody even with that option.
