remap_pfn_range() takes care of setting the appropriate VM_*
flags itself; there's no need for callers of remap_pfn_range()
to set VM_RESERVED before it is called.

consistent_sync() is used to handle the cache maintainence issues with
DMA operations. Since we've now removed the misuse of this function
from the two MTD drivers, rename it to prevent future mis-use.

In consistent_sync(), start + size can end up pointing one byte
beyond the end of the direct RAM mapping. We shouldn't BUG() when
this happens.

The DMA cache handling functions take virtual addresses, but in the
form of unsigned long arguments. This leads to a little confusion
about what exactly they take. So, convert them to take const void *
instead.

The outer cache can be L2 as on RealView/EB MPCore platform or even L3
or further on ARMv7 cores. This patch adds the generic support for
flushing the outer cache in the DMA operations.

L_PTE_ASID is not really required to be stored in every PTE, since we
can identify it via the address passed to set_pte_at(). So, create
set_pte_ext() which takes the address of the PTE to set, the Linux
PTE value, and the additional CPU PTE bits which aren't encoded in
the Linux PTE value.

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.

Have an explicit mm call to split higher order pages into individual pages.
Should help to avoid bugs and be more explicit about the code's intention.

Patch from Kevin Hilman
This patch increase available DMA-consistent memory allocated by dma_coherent_alloc(). The default remains at 2M (defined in asm/memory.h) and each platform has the ability to override in asm/arch-foo/memory.h.

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.

We must not call TLB maintainence operations with interrupts disabled,
otherwise we risk a lockup in the SMP IPI code.
This means that consistent_free() can not be called from a context with
IRQs disabled. In addition, we must not hold the lock in consistent_free
when we call flush_tlb_kernel_range(). However, we must continue to
prevent consistent_alloc() from re-using the memory region until we've
finished tearing down the mapping and dealing with the TLB.
Therefore, leave the vm_region entry in the list, but mark it inactive
before dropping the lock and starting the tear-down process. After the
mapping has been torn down, re-acquire the lock and remove the entry
from the list.

First step in pushing down the page_table_lock. init_mm.page_table_lock has
been used throughout the architectures (usually for ioremap): not to serialize
kernel address space allocation (that's usually vmlist_lock), but because
pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel expect caller holds it.
Reverse that: don't lock or unlock init_mm.page_table_lock in any of the
architectures; instead rely on pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel to take
and drop it when allocating a new one, to check lest a racing task already
did. Similarly no page_table_lock in vmalloc's map_vm_area.
Some temporary ugliness in __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc: since they also handle
user mms, which are converted only by a later patch, for now they have to lock
differently according to whether or not it's init_mm.
If sources get muddled, there's a danger that an arch source taking
init_mm.page_table_lock will be mixed with common source also taking it (or
neither take it). So break the rules and make another change, which should
break the build for such a mismatch: remove the redundant mm arg from
pte_alloc_kernel (ppc64 scrapped its distinct ioremap_mm in 2.6.13).
Exceptions: arm26 used pte_alloc_kernel on user mm, now pte_alloc_map; ia64
used pte_alloc_map on init_mm, now pte_alloc_kernel; parisc had bad args to
pmd_alloc and pte_alloc_kernel in unused USE_HPPA_IOREMAP code; ppc64
map_io_page forgot to unlock on failure; ppc mmu_mapin_ram and ppc64 im_free
took page_table_lock for no good reason.

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!
