Subject: [QUICKLIST 2/6] i386: quicklist support
i386: Convert to quicklists
Implement the i386 management of pgd and pmds using quicklists.
The i386 management of page table pages currently uses page sized slabs.
The page state is therefore mainly determined by the slab code. However,
i386 also uses its own fields in the page struct to mark special pages
and to build a list of pgds using the ->private and ->index field (yuck!).
This has been finely tuned to work right with SLAB but SLUB needs more
control over the page struct. Currently the only way for SLUB to support
these slabs is through special casing PAGE_SIZE slabs.
If we use quicklists instead then we can avoid the mess, and also the
overhead of manipulating page sized objects through slab.
It also allows us to use standard list manipulation macros for the
pgd list using page->lru thereby simplifying the code.
