As noted by Akinobu Mita in patch b1fceac2b9,
alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL and always return a
zeroed region of memory. Thus a NULL test or memset after calls to these
functions is unnecessary.
This was fixed using the following semantic patch.

On ARMv6 and later CPUs, it is possible for userspace processes to
get stuck on a misaligned load or store due to the "ignore fault"
setting; unlike previous CPUs, retrying the instruction without
the 'A' bit set does not always cause the load to succeed.
We have no real option but to default to fixing up alignment faults
on these CPUs, and having the CPU fix up those misaligned accesses
which it can.

Currently there are two instances of struct meminfo: one in
kernel/setup.c marked __initdata, and another in mm/init.c with
permanent storage. Let's keep only the later to directly populate
the permanent version from arm_add_memory().
Also move common validation tests between the MMU and non-MMU cases
into arm_add_memory() to remove some duplication. Protection against
overflowing the membank array is also moved in there in order to cover
the kernel cmdline parsing path as well.

For similar reasons as copy_user_page(), we want to avoid the
additional kmap_atomic if it's unnecessary.
Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
We used to override the copy_user_page() function. However, this
is not only inefficient, it also causes additional complexity for
highmem support, since we convert from a struct page to a kernel
direct mapped address and back to a struct page again.
Moreover, with highmem support, we end up pointlessly setting up
kmap entries for pages which we're going to remap. So, push the
kmapping down into the copypage implementation files where it's
required.

As suggested by Andrew Morton, remove memzero() - it's not supported
on other architectures so use of it is a potential build breaking bug.
Since the compiler optimizes memset(x,0,n) to __memzero() perfectly
well, we don't miss out on the underlying benefits of memzero().

Mikael Pettersson reported:
The 2.6.28-rc kernels fail to detect PCI device 0000:00:01.0
(the first ethernet port) on my Thecus n2100 XScale box.
There is however still a strange "ghost" device that gets partially
detected in 2.6.28-rc2 vanilla.
The IOP321 manual says:
The user designates the memory region containing the OCCDR as
non-cacheable and non-bufferable from the IntelR XScaleTM core.
This guarantees that all load/stores to the OCCDR are only of
DWORD quantities.
Ensure that the OCCDR is so mapped.

As a result of the ptebits changes, we ended up marking device mappings
as normal memory on ARMv7 CPUs, resulting in undesirable behaviour with
serial ports and the like. While reviewing the section mapping table
entries, other errors in the memory type settings for devices were
detected and confirmed to prevent Xscale3 platforms booting.

As of 73bdf0a60e, the kernel needs
to know where modules are located in the virtual address space.
On ARM, we located this region between MODULE_START and MODULE_END.
Unfortunately, everyone else calls it MODULES_VADDR and MODULES_END.
Update ARM to use the same naming, so is_vmalloc_or_module_addr()
can work properly. Also update the comment on mm/vmalloc.c to
reflect that ARM also places modules in a separate region from the
vmalloc space.
