      sh: Merge legacy and dynamic PMB modes. · d01447b3
      Paul Mundt 提交于
      This implements a bit of rework for the PMB code, which permits us to
      kill off the legacy PMB mode completely. Rather than trusting the boot
      loader to do the right thing, we do a quick verification of the PMB
      contents to determine whether to have the kernel setup the initial
      mappings or whether it needs to mangle them later on instead.
      
      If we're booting from legacy mappings, the kernel will now take control
      of them and make them match the kernel's initial mapping configuration.
      This is accomplished by breaking the initialization phase out in to
      multiple steps: synchronization, merging, and resizing. With the recent
      rework, the synchronization code establishes page links for compound
      mappings already, so we build on top of this for promoting mappings and
      reclaiming unused slots.
      
      At the same time, the changes introduced for the uncached helpers also
      permit us to dynamically resize the uncached mapping without any
      particular headaches. The smallest page size is more than sufficient for
      mapping all of kernel text, and as we're careful not to jump to any far
      off locations in the setup code the mapping can safely be resized
      regardless of whether we are executing from it or not.
