fixrange_init() allocates page tables for all addresses higher than
FIXADDR_TOP. On processors that override the default FIXADDR_TOP
address of 0xfffe_0000, this can consume up to 4 pages (1 page per 4MB)
for pgd's that are never used.

This fixes some sparse warnings.
pgtable-32.c:15:6: warning: symbol 'pgd_init' was not declared. Should it be static?

The current implementation uses a sequence of a cacheflush and a copy.
This is racy in case of a multithreaded debuggee and renders GDB
virtually unusable.
Aside this fixes a performance hog rendering access to /proc/cmdline very
slow and resulting in a enough cache stalls for the 34K AP/SP programming
model to make the bare metal code on the non-Linux VPE miss RT deadlines.
The main part of this patch was originally written by Ralf Baechle;
Atushi Nemoto did the the debugging.

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!
