Hi,

These patches update the SuperH page table folding/unfolding to take into
account the 5th level.

Mike Rapoport (2):
  sh: drop __pXd_offset() macros that duplicate pXd_index() ones
  sh: add support for folded p4d page tables

Is this only for 64-bit/sh5? If so, I'd really like to avoid having
patch churn that nominally keeps it working, since it doesn't; GCC
dropped support a long time ago and it was experimental to begin with,
never appeared in production. Has anyone looked lately at what it
would take to remove it?

This is a part of a generic cleanup of page table manipulations and removal
of __ARCH_USE_5LEVEL_HACK and the related code from the kernel. So this is
not related to a particular sh variant.
