Subject: sparc64: optimize struct page zeroing

Add an optimized mm_zero_struct_page(), so struct page's are zeroed
without calling memset().  We do eight to ten regular stores based on the
size of struct page.  Compiler optimizes out the conditions of switch()
statement.

SPARC-M6 with 15T of memory, single thread performance:

BASE:  current linux
FIX:   This patch series without "optimized struct page zeroing"
OPTIMIZED_FIX: This patch series including the current patch.

bootmem_init() is where memory for struct pages is zeroed during
allocation.  Note, about two seconds in this function is a fixed time: it
does not increase as memory is increased.
