[PATCH] mm: update split ptlock Kconfig
Closer attention to the arithmetic shows that neither ppc64 nor sparc really uses one page for multiple page tables: how on earth could they, while pte_alloc_one returns just a struct page pointer, with no offset? Well, arm26 manages it by returning a pte_t pointer cast to a struct page pointer, harumph, then compensating in its pmd_populate. But arm26 is never SMP, so it's not a problem for split ptlock either. And the PA-RISC situation has been recently improved: CONFIG_PA20 works without the 16-byte alignment which inflated its spinlock_t. But the current union of spinlock_t with private does make the 7xxx struct page significantly larger, even without debug, so disable its split ptlock.
