Richard Purdie 1c9d3df5e8 [ARM] 4078/1: Fix ARM copypage cache coherency problems
If PG_dcache_dirty is set for a page, we need to flush the source page
before performing any copypage operation using a different virtual address.

This fixes the copypage implementations for XScale, StrongARM and ARMv6.

This patch fixes segmentation faults seen in the dynamic linker under
the usage patterns in glibc 2.4/2.5.

Russell King ad1ae2fe7f [ARM] Unuse another Linux PTE bit
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.

Russell King 1b2e2b73b4 [ARM] Cleanup arch/arm/mm a little
Move top_pmd into arch/arm/mm/mm.h - nothing outside arch/arm/mm
references it.

Move the repeated definition of TOP_PTE into mm/mm.h, as well as
a few function prototypes.

Russell King d2bab05ac1 [PATCH] ARM: Move copy/clear user_page locking into implementation
Move the locking for copy_user_page() and clear_user_page() into
the implementations which require locking.  For simple memcpy/
memset based implementations, the locking is extra overhead which
is not necessary, and prevents preemption occuring.
