Just allocate them physically starting from the end of
the kernel image. This incredibly simplifies our MM
bootstrap in that we don't need any mappings in the linear
PAGE_OFFSET area working in order to bootstrap ourselves and
take over the trap table from the firmware.
Many further simplifications are possible now, and this also
sets the stage for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support.

This was kind of ugly, and actually buggy. The bug was that
we didn't handle a machine with memory starting > 4GB. If
the 'prompmd' was allocated in physical memory > 4GB we'd
croak because the obp_iaddr_patch and obp_daddr_patch things
only supported a 32-bit physical address.
So fix this by just loading the appropriate values from two
variables in the kernel image, which is locked into the TLB
and thus accesses to them can't cause a recursive TLB miss.

The page->flags D-cache dirty state tracking depended upon
NR_CPUS being a power-of-2 via it's "NR_CPUS - 1" masking.
Fix that to use a fixed (256 - 1) mask as that is the limit
imposed by thread_info->cpu which is a "u8".
Finally, add a compile time check that NR_CPUS is not greater
than 256.

The membar changes made the size of __cheetah_flush_tlb_pending
grow by one instruction, but the boot-time code patching was
not updated to match.

In particular, avoid membar instructions in the delay
slot of a jmpl instruction.
UltraSPARC-I, II, IIi, and IIe have a bug, documented in
the UltraSPARC-IIi User's Manual, Appendix K, Erratum 51
The long and short of it is that if the IMU unit misses
on a branch or jmpl, and there is a store buffer synchronizing
membar in the delay slot, the chip can stop fetching instructions.
If interrupts are enabled or some other trap is enabled, the
chip will unwedge itself, but performance will suffer.
We already had a workaround for this bug in a few spots, but
it's better to have the entire tree sanitized for this rule.

A lot of the code in arch/*/mm/hugetlbpage.c is quite similar. This patch
attempts to consolidate a lot of the code across the arch's, putting the
combined version in mm/hugetlb.c. There are a couple of uglyish hacks in
order to covert all the hugepage archs, but the result is a very large
reduction in the total amount of code. It also means things like hugepage
lazy allocation could be implemented in one place, instead of six.
Tested, at least a little, on ppc64, i386 and x86_64.
Notes:
- this patch changes the meaning of set_huge_pte() to be more
analagous to set_pte()
- does SH4 need s special huge_ptep_get_and_clear()??

This case actually can get exercised a lot during an ELF
coredump of a process which contains a lot of non-COW'd
anonymous pages. GDB has this test case which in partiaular
creates near terabyte process full of ZERO_PAGEes. It takes
forever to just walk through the page tables because of
all of these spurious cache flushes on sparc64.
With this change it takes only a second or so.

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!
