Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
This patch adds support for the I/O coherent cache available on the
xsc3. The approach is to provide a simple API to determine whether the
chipset supports coherency by calling arch_is_coherent() and then
setting the appropriate system memory PTE and PMD bits. In addition,
we call this API on dma_alloc_coherent() and dma_map_single() calls.
A generic version exists that will compile out all the coherency-related
code that is not needed on the majority of ARM systems.
Note that we do not check for coherency in the dma_alloc_writecombine()
function as that still requires a special PTE setting. We also don't
touch dma_mmap_coherent() as that is a special ARM-only API that is by
definition only used on non-coherent system.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
This patch adds support for the new XScale v3 core. This is an
ARMv5 ISA core with the following additions:
- L2 cache
- I/O coherency support (on select chipsets)
- Low-Locality Reference cache attributes (replaces mini-cache)
- Supersections (v6 compatible)
- 36-bit addressing (v6 compatible)
- Single instruction cache line clean/invalidate
- LRU cache replacement (vs round-robin)
I attempted to merge the XSC3 support into proc-xscale.S, but XSC3
cores have separate errata and have to handle things like L2, so it
is simpler to keep it separate.
L2 cache support is currently a build option because the L2 enable
bit must be set before we enable the MMU and there is no easy way to
capture command line parameters at this point.
There are still optimizations that can be done such as using LLR for
copypage (in theory using the exisiting mini-cache code) but those
can be addressed down the road.

arch/arm/kernel/entry-armv.S has contained a comment suggesting
that asm/hardware.h and asm/arch/irqs.h should be moved into the
asm/arch/entry-macro.S include. So move the includes to these
two files as required.
Add missing includes (asm/hardware.h, asm/io.h) to asm/arch/system.h
includes which use those facilities, and remove asm/io.h from
kernel/process.c.
Remove other unnecessary includes from arch/arm/kernel, arch/arm/mm
and arch/arm/mach-footbridge.

Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with
a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of
a large anonymous area.
This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to
guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single
page_table_lock. (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page
table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.)
In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the
page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in
the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled.
Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access. Ideally,
I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on
multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs.
So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig
language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with
NR_CPUS. But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good
testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps
change that to 8 later.
There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking
one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

Convert those few architectures which are calling pud_alloc, pmd_alloc,
pte_alloc_map on a user mm, not to take the page_table_lock first, nor drop it
after. Each of these can continue to use pte_alloc_map, no need to change
over to pte_alloc_map_lock, they're neither racy nor swappable.
In the sparc64 io_remap_pfn_range, flush_tlb_range then falls outside of the
page_table_lock: that's okay, on sparc64 it's like flush_tlb_mm, and that has
always been called from outside of page_table_lock in dup_mmap.

Patch from Deepak Saxena
This patch adds support for 36-bit static mapped I/O. While there
are no platforms in the tree ATM that use it, it has been tested
tested on the IXP2350 NPU and I would like to get the support for
that chipset upstream one piece at a time. There are also other
Intel chipset ports in development that are waiting on this to go
upstream.
The patch replaces the print formats for physical addresses with
%016llx which will create a bit extraneous output on 32-bit systems,
but I think that is cleaner than having #ifdefs, specially since
users will only see the output in error cases.
Depends on 3016/1.

Patch from Deepak Saxena
Working on adding support for 36-bit static mappings for ARMv6 and
Intel's XSC3 core and noticed that alloc_init_supersection currently
increments the phys addr by 1MB on each of the 16 iterations and then
forces alignment to supersection size (16MB). This is really uneeded
b/c we have already forced the phys address to be 16MB aligned in
create_mapping(). Furthermore, this breaks 36-bit addressing b/c bits
[23:20] of the PMD contain bits [35:32] of the physical address and
the masking causes us to loose those bits thus ending up with an
incorrect virt -> phys translation. The other option is to have an
alloc_init_supersection36.
Tested on Intel IXP2350 CPU with 36-bit static I/O mappings.

Unfortunately, we can't use the "user" bit in the page tables to
control whether a page table entry is "global" or "asid" specific,
since the vector page is mapped as "user" accessible but is not
process specific.
Therefore, give direct control of the ARMv6 "nG" (not global)
bit to the mm layers.

This patch is required for kernel XIP support on ARMv6 machines. It ensures that the access permission bits for kernel XIP section descriptors are APX=1 and AP[1:0]=01, which is Kernel read-only/User no access permissions. Prior to this change, kernel XIP section descriptor access permissions were set to Kernel no access/User no access on ARMv6 machines and the kernel would therefore hang upon entry to userspace when set_fs(USER_DS) was executed.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
