There is a 12MB unused region in our memory map between the vmalloc and
fixmap areas. This became unused with commit e9da6e9905, confirmed
with commit 64d3b6a3f4.
We also have a 8MB guard area before the vmalloc area. With the default
240MB vmalloc area size and the current VMALLOC_END definition, that
means the end of low memory ends up at 0xef800000 which is unfortunate
for 768MB machines where 8MB of RAM is lost to himem.
Let's move VMALLOC_END to 0xff800000 so the guard area won't chop the
top of the 768MB low memory area while keeping the default vmalloc area
size unchanged and still preserving a gap between the vmalloc and fixmap
areas.

With commit a05e54c103 ("ARM: 8031/2: change fixmap mapping region to
support 32 CPUs"), the fixmap region was expanded to 2MB, but it
precluded any other uses of the fixmap region. In order to support other
uses the fixmap region needs to be expanded beyond 2MB. Fortunately, the
adjacent 1MB range 0xffe00000-0xfff00000 is availabe.
Remove fixmap_page_table ptr and lookup the page table via the virtual
address so that the fixmap region can span more that one pmd. The 2nd
pmd is already created since it is shared with the vector page.

In 32-bit ARM systems, the fixmap mapping region can support no more
than 14 CPUs(total: 896k; one CPU: 64K). And we can configure NR_CPUS
up to 32. So there is a mismatch.
This patch moves fixmapping region downwards to region 0xffc00000-
0xffe00000. Then the fixmap mapping region can support up to 32 CPUs.

It looks like the static mapping area for DMA was replaced by dynamic
allocation into the vmalloc area by commit e9da6e9905 but the
information in Documentation/arm/memory.txt was not removed accordingly.
CONSISTENT_END in arch/arm/include/asm/memory.h has no more users and
can be removed as well.

This adds a fixed virtual mapping for PCI i/o addresses. The mapping is
located at the last 2MB of vmalloc region (0xfee00000-0xff000000). 2MB
is used to align with PMD size, but IO_SPACE_LIMIT is 1MB. The space
is reserved after .map_io and can be mapped at any time later with
pci_ioremap_io. Platforms which need early i/o mapping (e.g. for vga
console) can call pci_map_io_early in their .map_io function.
This has changed completely from the 1st implementation which only
supported creating the static mapping at .map_io.

In order to remove the build time variation between different SOCs with
regards to VMALLOC_END, the iotable mappings are now allocated inside
the vmalloc region. This allows for VMALLOC_END to be identical across
all machines.
The value for VMALLOC_END is now set to 0xff000000 which is right where
the consistent DMA area starts.
To accommodate all static mappings on machines with possible highmem usage,
the default vmalloc area size is changed to 240 MB so that VMALLOC_START
is no higher than 0xf0000000 by default.

This changes the TCM handling so that a fixed area is reserved at
0xfffe0000-0xfffeffff for TCM. This areas is used by XScale but
XScale does not have TCM so the mechanisms are mutually exclusive.
This change is needed to make TCM detection more dynamic while
still being able to compile code into it, and is a must for the
unified ARM goals: the current TCM allocation at different places
in memory for each machine would be a nightmare if you want to
compile a single image for more than one machine with TCM so it
has to be nailed down in one place.

This is the minimum fixmap interface expected to be implemented by
architectures supporting highmem.
We have a second level page table already allocated and covering
0xfff00000-0xffffffff because the exception vector page is located
at 0xffff0000, and various cache tricks already use some entries above
0xffff0000. Therefore the PTEs covering 0xfff00000-0xfffeffff are free
to be used.
However the XScale cache flushing code already uses virtual addresses
between 0xfffe0000 and 0xfffeffff.
So this reserves the 0xfff00000-0xfffdffff range for fixmap stuff.
The Documentation/arm/memory.txt information is updated accordingly,
including the information about the actual top of DMA memory mapping
region which didn't match the code.

Document that the VMALLOC_END address must be aligned to 2MB since
it must align with a PGD boundary.
Allocate the vectors page early so that the flush_cache_all() later
will cause any dirty cache lines in the direct mapping will be safely
written back.
Move the flush_cache_all() to the second local_flush_cache_tlb() and
remove the now redundant first local_flush_cache_tlb().

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!
