Eliminate the needless nommu version of this function, and get rid of
the proc_info_list structure argument - we no longer need this in order
to fix up the page table entries.

Currently, Xen is initialized/discovered in an initcall. This doesn't
allow us to support earlyprintk or choosing the preferred console when
running on Xen.

The current function xen_guest_init is now split in 2 parts:
    - xen_early_init: Check if there is a Xen node in the device tree
    and setup domain type
    - xen_guest_init: Retrieve the information from the device node and
    initialize Xen (grant table, shared page...)

The former is called in setup_arch, while the latter is an initcall.

This grabs the serial number shown in cpuinfo from the serial-number device-tree
property in priority. When booting with ATAGs (and without device-tree), the
provided number is still shown instead.

<title>ARM: 8319/1: advertise availability of v8 Crypto instructions</title>

<content type='text'>
When running the 32-bit ARM kernel on ARMv8 capable bare metal (e.g.,
32-bit Android userland and kernel on a Cortex-A53), or as a KVM guest
on a 64-bit host, we should advertise the availability of the Crypto
instructions, so that userland libraries such as OpenSSL may use them.
(Support for the v8 Crypto instructions in the 32-bit build was added
to OpenSSL more than six months ago)

This adds the ID feature bit detection, and sets elf_hwcap2 accordingly.

The various CPU feature registers consist of 4-bit blocks that
represent signed quantities, whose positive values represent
incremental features, and whose negative values are reserved.

To improve forward compatibility, update the feature detection
code to take possible future higher values into account, but
ignore negative values.

<title>ARM: 8313/1: Use read_cpuid_ext() macro instead of inline asm</title>

Replace inline asm statement in __get_cpu_architecture() with equivalent
macro invocation, i.e. read_cpuid_ext(CPUID_EXT_MMFR0);

As an added bonus, this squashes a potential bug, described by Paul
Walmsley in commit 067e710b9a98 ("ARM: 7801/1: prevent gcc 4.5 from
reordering extended CP15 reads above is_smp() test").

Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:
 "Another round of small ARM fixes.

  restore_user_regs early stack deallocation is buggy in the presence of
  FIQs which switch to SVC mode, and could lead to corrupted registers
  being returned to a user process given an inopportune FIQ event.

  Another bug was spotted in the ARM perf code where it could lose track
  of perf counter overflows, leading to incorrect perf results.

  Lastly, a bug in arm_add_memory() was spotted where the memory sizes
  aren't properly rounded.  As most people pass properly rounded sizes,
  this hasn't been noticed"
