RAID6_USE_EMPTY_ZERO_PAGE is unused and hardcoded to 0, so let's drop it.

<title>lib/raid6: Use strict priority ranking for pq gen() benchmarking</title>

On x86_64, currently 3 variants of AVX512, 3 variants of AVX2
and 3 variants of SSE2 are benchmarked on initialization, taking
between 144-153 jiffies. Testing across a hardware pool of
various generations of intel cpus I could not find a single
case where SSE2 won over AVX2 or AVX512. There are cases where
AVX2 wins over AVX512 however.

Change "prefer" into an integer priority field (similar to
how recov selection works) to have more than one ranking level
available, which is backwards compatible with existing behavior.

Give AVX2/512 variants higher priority over SSE2 in order to skip
SSE testing when AVX is available. in a AVX2/x86_64/HZ=250 case this
saves in the order of 200ms of initialization time.

<title>md/raid6: fix algorithm choice under larger PAGE_SIZE</title>

<content type='text'>
There are several algorithms available for raid6 to generate xor and syndrome
parity, including basic int1, int2 ... int32 and SIMD optimized implementation
like sse and neon.  To test and choose the best algorithms at the initial
stage, we need provide enough disk data to feed the algorithms. However, the
disk number we provided depends on page size and gfmul table, seeing bellow:

    const int disks = (65536/PAGE_SIZE) + 2;

So when come to 64K PAGE_SIZE, there is only one data disk plus 2 parity disk,
as a result the chosed algorithm is not reliable. For example, on my arm64
machine with 64K page enabled, it will choose intx32 as the best one, although
the NEON implementation is better.

This patch tries to fix the problem by defining a constant raid6 disk number to
supporting arbitrary page size.

This is helpful for systems where fast startup time is important.
It is especially nice to avoid benchmarking RAID functions that are
never used (for example, BTRFS selects RAID6_PQ even if the parity RAID
mode is not in use).

This saves 250+ milliseconds of boot time on modern x86 and ARM systems
with a dozen or more available implementations.

The new option is defaulted to 'y' to match the previous behavior of
always benchmarking on init.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - Support for 4PB user address space on 64-bit, opt-in via mmap().

   - Removal of POWER4 support, which was accidentally broken in 2016
     and no one noticed, and blocked use of some modern instructions.

   - Workarounds so that the hypervisor can enable Transactional Memory
     on Power9.

   - A series to disable the DAWR (Data Address Watchpoint Register) on
     Power9.

   - More information displayed in the meltdown/spectre_v1/v2 sysfs
     files.

   - A vpermxor (Power8 Altivec) implementation for the raid6 Q
     Syndrome.

   - A big series to make the allocation of our pacas (per cpu area),
     kernel page tables, and per-cpu stacks NUMA aware when using the
     Radix MMU on Power9.

  And as usual many fixes, reworks and cleanups.
