Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Remove s390 sw-emulated hugepages and cleanup 

Hi everyone,

there is a potential bug with KVM and hugetlbfs if the hardware does not
support hugepages (EDAT1).
We fix this by making EDAT1 a hard requirement for hugepages and 
therefore removing and simplifying code.

As s390, with the sw-emulated hugepages, was the only user of arch_prepare/release_hugepage
I also removed theses calls from common and other architecture code.

Thanks,
    Dominik

Dominik Dingel (5):
  s390/mm: make hugepages_supported a boot time decision
  mm/hugetlb: remove unused arch hook prepare/release_hugepage
  mm/hugetlb: remove arch_prepare/release_hugepage from arch headers
  s390/hugetlb: remove dead code for sw emulated huge pages
  s390/mm: forward check for huge pmds to pmd_large()
