f647d33f87 sh: Fix split ptlock for user mappings in __do_page_fault().
There was a bug that got introduced when the split ptlock changes
went in where mm could be unintialized for user mappings, this
fixes it up..

26ff6c11ef sh: page table alloc cleanups and page fault optimizations.
Cleanup of page table allocators, using generic folded PMD and PUD
helpers. TLB flushing operations are moved to a more sensible spot.

The page fault handler is also optimized slightly, we no longer waste
cycles on IRQ disabling for flushing of the page from the ITLB, since
we're already under CLI protection by the initial exception handler.

298476220d sh: Add control register barriers.
Currently when making changes to control registers, we
typically need some time for changes to take effect (8
nops, generally).  However, for sh4a we simply need to
do an icbi..

This is a simple patch for implementing a general purpose
ctrl_barrier() which functions as a control register write
barrier. There's some additional documentation in the patch
itself, but it's pretty self explanatory.

There were also some places where we were not doing the
barrier, which didn't seem to have any adverse effects on
legacy parts, but certainly did on sh4a. It's safer to have
the barrier in place for legacy parts as well in these cases,
though this does make flush_tlb_all() more expensive (by an
order of 8 nops).  We can ifdef around the flush_tlb_all()
case for now if it's clear that all legacy parts won't have
a problem with this.

60ec558549 [PATCH] mm: i386 sh sh64 ready for split ptlock
Use pte_offset_map_lock, instead of pte_offset_map (or inappropriate
pte_offset_kernel) and mm-wide page_table_lock, in sundry arch places.

The i386 vm86 mark_screen_rdonly: yes, there was and is an assumption that the
screen fits inside the one page table, as indeed it does.

The sh __do_page_fault: which handles both kernel faults (without lock) and
user mm faults (locked - though it set_pte without locking before).

The sh64 flush_cache_range and helpers: which wrongly thought callers held
page_table_lock before (only its tlb_start_vma did, and no longer does so);
moved the flush loop down, and adjusted the large versus small range decision
to consider a range which spans page tables as large.

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!
