Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fixup mmu_features immediately after getting cpu pa features.

From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@...ux.ibm.com>

On system with radix support available, early_radix_enabled() starts
returning true for a small window (until mmu_early_init_devtree() is
called) even when radix mode disabled on kernel command line. This causes
ppc64_bolted_size() to return ULONG_MAX in HPT mode instead of supported
segment size, during boot cpu paca allocation.

With kernel command line = "... disable_radix":

early_init_devtree:			  <- early_radix_enabled() = false
  early_init_dt_scan_cpus:		  <- early_radix_enabled() = false
      ...
      check_cpu_pa_features:		  <- early_radix_enabled() = false
      ...				^ <- early_radix_enabled() = TRUE
      allocate_paca:			| <- early_radix_enabled() = TRUE
          ...                           |
          ppc64_bolted_size:		| <- early_radix_enabled() = TRUE
              if (early_radix_enabled())| <- early_radix_enabled() = TRUE
                  return ULONG_MAX;     |
      ...                               |
  ...					| <- early_radix_enabled() = TRUE
  ...					| <- early_radix_enabled() = TRUE
  mmu_early_init_devtree()              V
  ...					  <- early_radix_enabled() = false

So far we have not seen any issue because allocate_paca() takes minimum of
ppc64_bolted_size and rma_size while allocating paca. However it is better
to close this window by fixing up the mmu features as early as possible.
This fixes early_radix_enabled() and ppc64_bolted_size() to return valid
values in radix disable mode. This patch will help subsequent patch to
depend on early_radix_enabled() check while detecting supported segment
size in HPT mode.
