The old code was assuming that min_low_pfn was always 0. This
means that platforms having a big hole at their memory start
paid the price of wasting some memory for the allocation of
unused entries in mem_map[].
This patch prevents this waste.
It introduces PHYS_OFFSET define which is the start of the
physical memory and uses it wherever needed. Specially when
converting physical/virtual addresses into virtual/physical
ones.
Currently all platforms defines PHYS_OFFSET to 0.

Provide a custom copy_user_highpage() to deal with aliasing issues on
MIPS. It uses kmap_coherent() to map an user page for kernel with same
color. Rewrite copy_to_user_page() and copy_from_user_page() with the
new interfaces to avoid extra cache flushing.
The main part of this patch was originally written by Ralf Baechle;
Atushi Nemoto did the the debugging.

This patch introduces __pa_symbol() macro which should be used to
calculate the physical address of kernel symbols. It also relies
on RELOC_HIDE() to avoid any compiler's oddities when doing
arithmetics on symbols.

During early boot mem init, some configs couldn't use __pa() to
convert virtual into physical addresses. Specially for 64 bit
kernel cases when CONFIG_BUILD_ELF64=n. This patch make __pa()
work for _all_ configs and thus make CPHYSADDR() useless.

__pa() was used by virt_to_page() and virt_addr_valid(). These
latter are used when kernel is initialised so __pa() is not
appropriate, we use virt_to_phys() instead.
Futhermore __pa() is going to take care of CKSEG0/XKPHYS
address mix for 64 bit kernels. This makes __pa() more complex
than virt_to_phys() and this extra work is not needed by
virt_to_page() and virt_addr_valid().
Eventually it consolidates virt_to_phys() prototype by making
its argument 'const'. this avoids some warnings that was due
to some virt_to_page() usages which pass const pointer.

MIPS asm/page.h unconditionally includes <asm-generic/memory_model.h>, which
doesn't exist in userspace. Move an #endif /* __KERNEL__ */ down a few lines
to prevent that.
Also, remove the broken definition of PAGE_SIZE which is never going to be
correct -- in the absence of PAGE_SIZE, non-broken userspace will fall back to
using sysconf() or getpagesize() instead.

1. MIPS should select SPARSEMEM_STATIC since allocating bootmem in
memory_present() will corrupt bootmap area.
2. pfn_valid() for SPARSEMEM is defined in linux/mmzone.h

Move memory_present() in arch/mips/kernel/setup.c. When using sparsemem
extreme, this function does an allocate for bootmem. This would always
fail since init_bootmem hasn't been called yet.
Move memory_present after free_bootmem. This only marks actual memory
ranges as present instead of the entire address space.

Someone mentioned that almost all the architectures used basically the same
implementation of get_order. This patch consolidates them into
asm-generic/page.h and includes that in the appropriate places. The
exceptions are ia64 and ppc which have their own (presumably optimised)
versions.

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!
