This patchset is for /proc/kcore. With this,
- many per-arch hooks are removed.
- /proc/kcore will know really valid physical memory area.
- /proc/kcore will be aware of memory hotplug.
- /proc/kcore will be architecture independent i.e.
if an arch supports CONFIG_MMU, it can use /proc/kcore.
(if the arch uses usual memory layout.)
This patch:
/proc/kcore uses its own list handling codes. It's better to use
generic list codes.
No changes in logic. just clean up.
