This reworks the cache mode configuration in Kconfig, and allows for
explicit selection of write-back/write-through/off configurations.
All of the cache flushing routines are optimized away for the off
case.

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f22 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.
This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).

This is the last remaining slab destructor in the kernel, which
we kill off and move the resultant list tracking logic up to
the pmb_alloc()/pmb_free() paths.
As Christoph Lameter pointed out, it's potentially unsafe to be
taking the list lock in the destructor anyways, so this is also
more fundamentally correct.
With this in place, we're all set for killing off slab destructors
from the kernel entirely.

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.
The patch was generated using the following script:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
#
set -e
for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
quilt add $file
sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$
mv /tmp/$$ $file
quilt refresh
done
The script was run like this
sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache"

ioremap() overhaul. Add support for transparent PMB mapping, get rid of
p3_ioremap(), etc. Also drop ioremap() and iounmap() routines from the
machvec, as everyone can use the generic ioremap() API instead. For PCI
memory apertures and other special cases, use the pci_iomap() API, as
boards are already required to get the mapping right there.
