On OMAP platforms, some people want to declare to segment up the memory
between the kernel and a separate application such that there is a hole
in the middle of the memory as far as Linux is concerned. However,
they want to be able to mmap() the hole.
This currently causes problems, because update_mmu_cache() thinks that
there are valid struct pages for the "hole". Fix this by making
pfn_valid() slightly more expensive, by checking whether the PFN is
contained within the meminfo array.

Update the link script for ARM to use PAGE_SIZE instead of hard-
coded 4096. Also the old RODATA macro is deprecated
for the RO_DATA(PAGE_SIZE) macro. As a consequence the PAGE_SIZE
was changed from (1UL << PAGE_SHIFT) to (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
because the linker does not understand the "UL" suffix to numeric
constants.

The current asm-generic/page.h only contains the get_order
function, and asm-generic/uaccess.h only implements
unaligned accesses. This renames the file to getorder.h
and uaccess-unaligned.h to make room for new page.h
and uaccess.h file that will be usable by all simple
(e.g. nommu) architectures.

Define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN in asm/cache.h
At the request of Russell also move ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN to this file.

Adds support for Faraday FA526 core. This core is used at least by:
Cortina Systems Gemini and Centroid family
Cavium Networks ECONA family
Grain Media GM8120
Pixelplus ImageARM
Prolific PL-1029
Faraday IP evaluation boards
v2:
- move TLB_BTB to separate patch
- update copyrights

For similar reasons as copy_user_page(), we want to avoid the
additional kmap_atomic if it's unnecessary.

We used to override the copy_user_page() function. However, this
is not only inefficient, it also causes additional complexity for
highmem support, since we convert from a struct page to a kernel
direct mapped address and back to a struct page again.
Moreover, with highmem support, we end up pointlessly setting up
kmap entries for pages which we're going to remap. So, push the
kmapping down into the copypage implementation files where it's
required.

As suggested by Andrew Morton, remove memzero() - it's not supported
on other architectures so use of it is a potential build breaking bug.
Since the compiler optimizes memset(x,0,n) to __memzero() perfectly
well, we don't miss out on the underlying benefits of memzero().

Add support for detecting non-executable stack binaries, and adjust
permissions to prevent execution from data and stack areas. Also,
ensure that READ_IMPLIES_EXEC is enabled for older CPUs where that
is true, and for any executable-stack binary.

Move platform independent header files to arch/arm/include/asm, leaving
those in asm/arch* and asm/plat* alone.
