b8ce0aadcd [PARISC] Add CONFIG_HPPA_IOREMAP to conditionally enable ioremap
Instead of making it a #define in asm/io.h, allow user to select
to turn on IOREMAP from the config menu.

e0565a1c83 [PARISC] Fix and cleanup ioremap.c to work with 4level-fixup.h
Fixup ioremap a bit. It seems to work on 32-bit kernels, but fails
miserably on the first ioremapped access on 64-bit kernels. Also, having
STI enabled causes it to fail. Probably because we're passing an ioremapped
region to a real-mode STI call...

872fec16d9 [PATCH] mm: init_mm without ptlock
First step in pushing down the page_table_lock.  init_mm.page_table_lock has
been used throughout the architectures (usually for ioremap): not to serialize
kernel address space allocation (that's usually vmlist_lock), but because
pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel expect caller holds it.

Reverse that: don't lock or unlock init_mm.page_table_lock in any of the
architectures; instead rely on pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel to take
and drop it when allocating a new one, to check lest a racing task already
did.  Similarly no page_table_lock in vmalloc's map_vm_area.

Some temporary ugliness in __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc: since they also handle
user mms, which are converted only by a later patch, for now they have to lock
differently according to whether or not it's init_mm.

If sources get muddled, there's a danger that an arch source taking
init_mm.page_table_lock will be mixed with common source also taking it (or
neither take it).  So break the rules and make another change, which should
break the build for such a mismatch: remove the redundant mm arg from
pte_alloc_kernel (ppc64 scrapped its distinct ioremap_mm in 2.6.13).

Exceptions: arm26 used pte_alloc_kernel on user mm, now pte_alloc_map; ia64
used pte_alloc_map on init_mm, now pte_alloc_kernel; parisc had bad args to
pmd_alloc and pte_alloc_kernel in unused USE_HPPA_IOREMAP code; ppc64
map_io_page forgot to unlock on failure; ppc mmu_mapin_ram and ppc64 im_free
took page_table_lock for no good reason.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
