This adds the TLB miss handler assembly, the low level TLB flush routines
along with the necessary hook for dealing with our virtual page tables
or indirect TLB entries that need to be flushes when PTE pages are freed.There is currently no support for hugetlbfs

This reworks the context management code used by 4xx,8xx and
freescale BookE. It adds support for SMP by implementing a
concept of stale context map to lazily flush the TLB on
processors where a context may have been invalidated. This
also contains the ground work for generalizing such lazy TLB
flushing by just picking up a new PID and marking the old one
stale. This will be implemented later.This is a first implementation that uses a global spinlock.
Ideally, we should try to get at least the fast path (context ID
already assigned) lockless or limited to a per context lock,
but for now this will do.I tried to keep the UP case reasonably simple to avoid adding
too much overhead to 8xx which does a lot of context stealing
since it effectively has only 16 PIDs available.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a
mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asmFollowed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where was being used explicitly. Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell
