Vishal Moola (Oracle) bf2d4334f7 mm: add utility functions for ptdesc
Introduce utility functions setting the foundation for ptdescs.  These
will also assist in the splitting out of ptdesc from struct page.

Functions that focus on the descriptor are prefixed with ptdesc_* while
functions that focus on the pagetable are prefixed with pagetable_*.

pagetable_alloc() is defined to allocate new ptdesc pages as compound
pages.  This is to standardize ptdescs by allowing for one allocation and
one free function, in contrast to 2 allocation and 2 free functions.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
