<title>ARM: ensure C page table setup code follows assembly code</title>

<content type='text'>
Fix a long standing bug where, for ARMv6+, we don't fully ensure that
the C code sets the same cache policy as the assembly code.  This was
introduced partially by commit 11179d8ca28d ([ARM] 4497/1: Only allow
safe cache configurations on ARMv6 and later) and also by adding SMP
support.

This patch sets the default cache policy based on the flags used by the
assembly code, and then ensures that when a cache policy command line
argument is used, we verify that on ARMv6, it matches the initial setup.

memblock is now fully integrated into the kernel and is the prefered
method for tracking memory. Rather than reinvent the wheel with
meminfo, migrate to using memblock directly instead of meminfo as
an intermediate.

Rather than reading the cr_alignment variable, use get_cr() to read
directly from the hardware instead.  We have two places where this
occurs, neither of them are performance critical.

<title>ARM: 7952/1: mm: Fix the memblock allocation for LPAE machines</title>

Commit ad6492b8 added much needed memblock_virt_alloc_low() and further
commit 07bacb3 {memblock, bootmem: restore goal for alloc_low} fixed
the issue with low memory limit thanks to Yinghai. But even after all
these fixes, there is still one case where the limit check done with
ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT for low memory fails. Russell pointed out the
issue with 32 bit LPAE machines in below thread.
	https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/1/28/364

Since on some LPAE machines where memory start address is beyond 4GB,
the low memory marker in memblock will be set to default
ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT which is wrong. We can fix this by letting
architectures set the ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT using another export
similar to memblock_set_current_limit() but am not sure whether
its worth the trouble. Tell me if you think otherwise.

Rather am just trying to fix that one broken case using
memblock_virt_alloc() in setup code since the memblock.current_limit
is updated appropriately makes it work on all ARM 32 bit machines.

The new memblock_virt APIs are used to replaced old bootmem API.

We need to allocate page below 4G for swiotlb.

That should fix regression on Andrew's system that is using swiotlb.
