f7fe93344f sparc64: Remove 4MB and 512K base page size options.
Adrian Bunk reported that enabling 4MB page size breaks the build.
The problem is that MAX_ORDER combined with the page shift exceeds the
SECTION_SIZE_BITS we use in asm-sparc64/sparsemem.h

There are several ways I suppose we could work around this.  For one
we could define a CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER to decrease MAX_ORDER in
these higher page size cases.

But I also know that these page size cases are broken wrt. TLB miss
handling especially on pre-hypervisor systems, and there isn't an easy
way to fix that.

These options were meant to be fun experimental hacks anyways, and
only 8K and 64K make any sense to support.

So remove 512K and 4M base page size support.  Of course, we still
support these page sizes for huge pages.

c4bce90ea2 [SPARC64]: Deal with PTE layout differences in SUN4V.
Yes, you heard it right, they changed the PTE layout for
SUN4V.  Ho hum...

This is the simple and inefficient way to support this.
It'll get optimized, don't worry.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
