The ARM ARM requires branch predictor maintenance if, for a given ASID,
the instructions at a specific virtual address appear to change.
From the kernel's point of view, that means:
- Changing the kernel's view of memory (e.g. switching to the
identity map)
- ASID rollover (since ASIDs will be re-allocated to new tasks)
This patch adds explicit branch predictor maintenance when either of the
two conditions above are met.

Add a method (hyp_idmap_setup) to populate a hyp pgd with an
identity mapping of the code contained in the .hyp.idmap.text
section.
Offer a method to drop this identity mapping through
hyp_idmap_teardown.
Make all the above depend on CONFIG_ARM_VIRT_EXT and CONFIG_ARM_LPAE.

Flushing the cache is needed for the hardware to see the idmap table
and therefore can be done at init time. On ARMv7 it is not necessary to
flush L2 so flush_cache_louis() is used here instead.
There is no point flushing the cache in setup_mm_for_reboot() as the
caller should, and already is, taking care of this. If switching the
memory map requires a cache flush, then cpu_switch_mm() already includes
that operation.
What is not done by cpu_switch_mm() on ASID capable CPUs is TLB flushing
as the whole point of the ASID is to tag the TLBs and avoid flushing them
on a context switch. Since we don't have a clean ASID for the identity
mapping, we need to flush the TLB explicitly in that case. Otherwise
this is already performed by cpu_switch_mm().

With LPAE, the pgd is a separate page table with entries pointing to the
pmd. The identity_mapping_add() function needs to ensure that the pgd is
populated before populating the pmd level. The do..while blocks now loop
over the pmd in order to have the same implementation for the two page
table formats. The pmd_addr_end() definition has been removed and the
generic one used instead. The pmd clean-up is done in the pgd_free()
function.

The ARM SMP booting code allocates a temporary set of page tables
containing an identity mapping of the kernel image and provides this
to secondary CPUs for initial booting.
In reality, we only need to include the __turn_mmu_on function in the
identity mapping since the rest of the kernel is executing from virtual
addresses after this point.
This patch adds __turn_mmu_on to the .idmap.text section, allowing the
SMP booting code to use the idmap_pgd directly and not have to populate
its own set of page table.
As a result of this patch, we can make the identity_mapping_add function
static (since it is only used within mm/idmap.c) and also remove the
identity_mapping_del function. The identity map population is moved to
an early initcall so that it is setup in time for secondary CPU bringup.

For soft-rebooting a system, it is necessary to map the MMU-off code
with an identity mapping so that execution can continue safely once the
MMU has been switched off.
Currently, switch_mm_for_reboot takes out a 1:1 mapping from 0x0 to
TASK_SIZE during reboot in the hope that the reset code lives at a
physical address corresponding to a userspace virtual address.
This patch modifies the code so that we switch to the idmap_pgd tables,
which contain a 1:1 mapping of the cpu_reset code. This has the
advantage of only remapping the code that we need and also means we
don't need to worry about allocating a pgd from an atomic context in the
case that the physical address of the cpu_reset code aliases with the
virtual space used by the kernel.

When disabling and re-enabling the MMU, it is necessary to take out an
identity mapping for the code that manipulates the SCTLR in order to
avoid it disappearing from under our feet. This is useful when soft
rebooting and returning from CPU suspend.
This patch allocates a set of page tables during boot and populates them
with an identity mapping for the .idmap.text section. This means that
users of the identity map do not need to manage their own pgd and can
instead annotate their functions with __idmap or, in the case of assembly
code, place them in the correct section.
