Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Rework sparc32 page-table layout

Hi folks,

This series of patches reworks the sparc32 page-table layout so that
'pmd_t' no longer embeds an array of 16 physical pointers, which means
that we can finally enforce atomicity for accesses made using READ_ONCE():

  https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200123153341.19947-1-will@kernel.org

I've tested this with QEMU by booting Debian Etch. Please take a look!

Cheers,

Will
