Therefore, we should avoid using supersections unless there's a real
need (iow, we're mapping addresses >= 4GB).
This means that we can simplify create_mapping() a bit since we will
only use supersection mappings for addresses >= 4GB, which means that
the physical, virtual and length must be multiples of the supersection
mapping size.

There's now no need to carry around each protection separately.
Instead, pass around the pointer to the entry in the mem_types
array which we're interested in.

Rather than combining the domain for a particular memory type with
the protection information each time we want to use it, do so when
we fix up the mem_type array at initialisation time.
Rename struct mem_types to be mem_type - each structure is one
memory type description, not several.

The PAGE_* user page protection macros don't take into account the
configured memory policy and other architecture specific bits like
the global/ASID and shared mapping bits. Instead of constants let
these depend on a variable fixed up at init just like PAGE_KERNEL.

Move adjust_cr() into arch/arm/mm/mmu.c, and move irqflags.h to
a more appropriate place in the header file.

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.

The RX3715 is similar to the H1940 in the way
that suspend to RAM works, so we can use most

XIP kernels need to know the start/end of text, but we were
missing the declaration of _etext in mmu.c. Add it.

If we're going to have mmu.c for code which is specific to the MMU
machines, we might as well move the other MMU initialisation
specific code from mm-armv.c into this new file. This also allows
us to make some functions static.

Rename mmu.c to context.c - it's the ARMv6 ASID context handling

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!
