<id>6656920b0b50beacb6cb64cf55273cbb686e436e</id>
<content type='text'>
Add support for processors that have cache-aliasing issues, such as
the Stretch S5000 processor. Cache-aliasing means that the size of
the cache (for one way) is larger than the page size, thus, a page
can end up in several places in cache depending on the virtual to
physical translation. The method used here is to map a user page
temporarily through the auto-refill way 0 and of of the DTLB.
We probably will want to revisit this issue and use a better
approach with kmap/kunmap.

Newer processor versions starting with Xtensa6/LX2 support an 'executable'
bit for memory pages. This bit replaces the 'valid' bit, so it must be
always set to one for older processor versions. To mark a page invalid, we now
set the cache-attributes to b11, which is backward compatible.

The Xtensa port contained many header files that were never needed.  This
rather lengthy patch removes all those files.  Unfortunately, there were
many dependencies that needed to be updated, so this patch touches quite a
few source files.

<title>[PATCH] Standardize pxx_page macros</title>

<id>46a82b2d5591335277ed2930611f6acb4ce654ed</id>
<content type='text'>
One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the
pxx_page macros.  pte_page and pmd_page have always returned the struct
page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel
have returned the kernel virtual address.  pud_page and pgd_page, on the
other hand, return the kernel virtual address.

Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page
structures.  There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is
simple to standardize their usage.

Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone
patch.  Per Hugh Dickins' comments about it, I am also changing the
pxx_page_kernel macros to pxx_page_vaddr to clarify their meaning.
