Changes in v4 from the cover letter
======
1. Revert SWAPFILE_CLUSTER definition - since we already adjusted all the users of SWAPFILE_CLUSTER and made those users use this value at runtime (Kairui Song)

Cover letter [PATCH v4 0/3] mm, swap: Enable THP SWAP for PowerPC Book3S64
On PowerPC Book3S64, MMU is selected at runtime, so macros like PMD_SHIFT are effectively runtime variables in the Book3S64 code. THP swap code uses these macros for e.g. to size some of its array data structures based on PMD_ORDER. This patch series makes that usage dependent on the runtime variable and provides an upper-bound architecture override for cases (e.g. SWAP_NR_ORDERS), where the runtime conversion is not considered beneficial.
This series increases bandwidth throughput with zram backend for swapout by around 40-50% with Radix and 100-130% with Hash (Tested by Sayali)
Note that this patch series is based out of linux-next (next-20260608).
v3->v4:
======
1. Revert SWAPFILE_CLUSTER definition - since we already adjusted all the users of SWAPFILE_CLUSTER and made those users use this value at runtime (Kairui Song)
v2 -> v3:
=========
1. Fixed sparse warning for swap_table_use_page reported by lkp in patch-1
RFC -> v2:
==========
1. Send the unused leftovers change in swap.h separately [1]
2. Changed RFC Patch-3 design from runtime SWAP_NR_ORDERS to arch override (ARCH_MAX_PMD_ORDER) - suggested by Youngjun
3. Dropped RFC tag
