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.Reviewed-by: Catalin Marinas

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.Acked-by: Dave Martin
