[PATCH v3 0/4] Make PDX compression optional

[Alejandro Vallejo <alejandro.vallejo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Currently there's a CONFIG_HAS_PDX Kconfig option, but it's impossible to
disable it because the whole codebase performs unconditional
compression/decompression operations on addresses. This has the
unfortunate side effect that systems without a need for compression still
have to pay the performance impact of juggling bits on every pfn<->pdx
conversion (this requires reading several global variables). This series
attempts to:

  * Leave the state of pdx and pdx compression documented
  * Factor out compression so it _can_ be removed through Kconfig
  * Make it so compression is disabled on x86 and enabled on both Aarch32
    and Aarch64 by default.

Series summary:

Patch 1 Moves hard-coded compression-related logic to helper functions
Patch 2 Refactors all instances of regions being validated for pdx
        compression conformance so it's done through a helper
Patch 3 Non-functional reorder in order to simplify the patch 8 diff
Patch 4 Adds new Kconfig option to compile out PDX compression and removes
        the old CONFIG_HAS_PDX, as it was non removable

Already committed:

v1/patch 1 documents the current general understanding of the pdx concept and
           pdx compression in particular
v1/patch 3 Marks the pdx compression globals as ro_after_init
v2/patch 1 Documents the differences between arm32 and arm64 directmaps

Alejandro Vallejo (4):
  mm: Factor out the pdx compression logic in ma/va converters
  mm/pdx: Standardize region validation wrt pdx compression
  pdx: Reorder pdx.[ch]
  pdx: Add CONFIG_PDX_COMPRESSION as a common Kconfig option
