Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request. So,
this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
the dcache or with dcache aliases. The patch fixes this.
The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
flush_dcache_page() is a no-op. Every architecture was provided with this
flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.
See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
on LKML for more information.

This fixes up the kmap_coherent/kunmap_coherent() interface for recent
changes both in the page fault path and the shared cache flushers, as
well as adding in some optimizations.
One of the key things to note here is that the TLB flush itself is
deferred until the unmap, and the call in to update_mmu_cache() itself
goes away, relying on the regular page fault path to handle the lazy
dcache writeback if necessary.

This does a bit of rework for making the cache flushers SMP-aware. The
function pointer-based flushers are renamed to local variants with the
exported interface being commonly implemented and wrapping as necessary.

All CPU-specific overloads are done at runtime now, so this common header
can go away and simply be folded back in to asm/ version.

This paves the way for allowing individual CPUs to overload the
individual flushing routines that they care about without having to
depend on weak aliases. SH-4 is converted over initially, as it wires
up pretty much everything. The majority of the other CPUs will simply use
the default no-op implementation with their own region flushers wired up.

We use flush_cache_page() outright in copy_to_user_page(), and nothing
else needs it, so just kill it off. SH-5 still defines its own version,
but that too will go away in the same fashion once it converts over.

All of the flush_dcache_mmap_lock()/flush_dcache_mmap_unlock()
definitions are identical across all CPUs, so just provide them
generically in asm/cacheflush.h.

This provides a central point for CPU cache initialization routines.
This replaces the antiquated p3_cache_init() method, which the vast
majority of CPUs never cared about.

This does a bit of reorganizing for allowing nommu to use the new
and generic cache.c, no functional changes.

This builds in the newly created cache.c (renamed from pg-mmu.c) for both
MMU and NOMMU configurations. The kmap_coherent() stubs and alias
information recorded by each CPU family takes care of doing the right
thing while enabling the code to be commonly shared.

This plugs in kmap_coherent() for the non-SH4 cases to permit the
pg-mmu.c bits to be used generically across all CPUs. SH-5 is still in
the TODO state, but will move over to fixmap and the generic interface
gradually.

This provides a __flush_anon_page() that handles both the aliasing and
non-aliasing cases. This fixes up some crashes with heavy
get_user_pages() users.

Now that the SH-4 page clear/copy ops are generic, they can be used for
all platforms with CONFIG_MMU=y. SH-5 remains the odd one out, but it too
will gradually be converted over to using this interface.
SH-3 platforms which do not contain aliases will see no impact from this
change, while aliasing SH-3 platforms will get the same interface as
SH-4.

This wires up clear_user_highpage() on SH-4 and subsequently converts the
SH7705 32kB cache mode over to using it. Now that the SH-4 implementation
handles all of the dcache purging directly in the aliasing case, there is
no need to do this in the default clear_page() implementation.

Presently shm_align_mask is only looked at for the bottom up case, but we
still want this for proper colouring constraints in the topdown case.
