    While implementing TLB miss HW assistance on the 8xx, the following
    warning was encountered:

    This warning occurs when calling kmem_cache_zalloc() on a
    cache having a constructor.
    
    In this case it happens because PGD cache and 512k hugepte cache are
    the same size (4k). While a cache with constructor is created for
    the PGD, hugepages create cache without constructor and uses
    kmem_cache_zalloc(). As both expect a cache with the same size,
    the hugepages reuse the cache created for PGD, hence the conflict.
    
    In order to avoid this conflict, this patch:
    - modifies pgtable_cache_add() so that a zeroising constructor is
    added for any cache size.
    - replaces calls to kmem_cache_zalloc() by kmem_cache_alloc()
