f44374f14c MIPS: Export {copy, clear}_page functions alongside their definitions
Now that EXPORT_SYMBOL can be used from assembly source, move the
EXPORT_SYMBOL invocations for the copy_page & clear_page functions to be
alongside their definitions.

With this change there are no longer any symbols exported from
mips_ksyms.c so remove the file.

c022630633 MIPS: Refactor 'clear_page' and 'copy_page' functions.
Remove usage of the '__attribute__((alias("...")))' hack that aliased
to integer arrays containing micro-assembled instructions. This hack
breaks when building a microMIPS kernel. It also makes the code much
easier to understand.

[ralf@linux-mips.org: Added back export of the clear_page and copy_page
symbols so certain modules will work again.  Also fixed build with
CONFIG_SIBYTE_DMA_PAGEOPS enabled.]
