Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.
It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.
A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.
This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.
There were a couple of notable cases:
- csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.
- the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
really used it)
- microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout
but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.
I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

HI, LO, DSPCR registers are 807/810 related regs and no need for 610/860.
All of the regs must be saved in pt_regs and switch_stack. This patch
fixup saving dspcr reg in switch_stack and pt_regs.

Glibc function mmap(... O_SYNC) will make page to _PAGE_UNCACHE +
_PAGE_SO and strong-order page couldn't support unalignment access.
So remove _PAGE_SO from _PAGE_UNCACHE, also sync abiv1 with the macro
of _PAGE_SO.

This patch adds files related to memory management and here is our
memory-layout:
Fixmap : 0xffc02000 – 0xfffff000 (4 MB - 12KB)
Pkmap : 0xff800000 – 0xffc00000 (4 MB)
Vmalloc : 0xf0200000 – 0xff000000 (238 MB)
Lowmem : 0x80000000 – 0xc0000000 (1GB)
abiv1 CPU (CK610) is VIPT cache and it doesn't support highmem.
abiv2 CPUs are all PIPT cache and they could support highmem.
Lowmem is directly mapped by msa0 & msa1 reg, and we needn't setup
memory page table for it.
