The old method that is using xcall and softint to get new context id is
deleted, as it is replaced by a method of using per_cpu_secondary_mm
without xcall to perform the context wrap.

When the vmalloc area gets fragmented, and because the firmware
mapping area sits between where modules live and the vmalloc area, we
can sometimes receive requests for enormous kernel TLB range flushes.
When this happens the cpu just spins flushing billions of pages and
this triggers the NMI watchdog and other problems.
We took care of this on the TSB side by doing a linear scan of the
table once we pass a certain threshold.
Do something similar for the TLB flush, however we are limited by
the TLB flush facilities provided by the different chip variants.
First of all we use an (mostly arbitrary) cut-off of 256K which is
about 32 pages. This can be tuned in the future.
The huge range code path for each chip works as follows:
1) On spitfire we flush all non-locked TLB entries using diagnostic
acceses.
2) On cheetah we use the "flush all" TLB flush.
3) On sun4v/hypervisor we do a TLB context flush on context 0, which
unlike previous chips does not remove "permanent" or locked
entries.
We could probably do something better on spitfire, such as limiting
the flush to kernel TLB entries or even doing range comparisons.
However that probably isn't worth it since those chips are old and
the TLB only had 64 entries.

Just like the non-cross-call TLB flush handlers, the cross-call ones need
to avoid doing PC-relative branches outside of their code blocks.

When we copy code over to patch another piece of code, we can only use
PC-relative branches that target code within that piece of code.
Such PC-relative branches cannot be made to external symbols because
the patch moves the location of the code and thus modifies the
relative address of external symbols.
Use an absolute jmpl to fix this problem.

Choose PAGE_OFFSET dynamically based upon cpu type.
Original UltraSPARC-I (spitfire) chips only supported a 44-bit
virtual address space.
Newer chips (T4 and later) support 52-bit virtual addresses
and up to 47-bits of physical memory space.
Therefore we have to adjust PAGE_SIZE dynamically based upon
the capabilities of the chip.
Note that this change alone does not allow us to support > 43-bit
physical memory, to do that we need to re-arrange our page table
support. The current encodings of the pmd_t and pgd_t pointers
restricts us to "32 + 11" == 43 bits.
This change can waste quite a bit of memory for the various tables.
In particular, a future change should work to size and allocate
kern_linear_bitmap[] and sparc64_valid_addr_bitmap[] dynamically.
This isn't easy as we really cannot take a TLB miss when accessing
kern_linear_bitmap[]. We'd have to lock it into the TLB or similar.

As reported by Dave Kleikamp, when we emit cross calls to do batched
TLB flush processing we have a race because we do not synchronize on
the sibling cpus completing the cross call.
So meanwhile the TLB batch can be reset (tb->tlb_nr set to zero, etc.)
and either flushes are missed or flushes will flush the wrong
addresses.
Fix this by using generic infrastructure to synchonize on the
completion of the cross call.
This first required getting the flush_tlb_pending() call out from
switch_to() which operates with locks held and interrupts disabled.
The problem is that smp_call_function_many() cannot be invoked with
IRQs disabled and this is explicitly checked for with WARN_ON_ONCE().
We get the batch processing outside of locked IRQ disabled sections by
using some ideas from the powerpc port. Namely, we only batch inside
of arch_{enter,leave}_lazy_mmu_mode() calls. If we're not in such a
region, we flush TLBs synchronously.
1) Get rid of xcall_flush_tlb_pending and per-cpu type
implementations.
2) Do TLB batch cross calls instead via:
smp_call_function_many()
tlb_pending_func()
__flush_tlb_pending()
3) Batch only in lazy mmu sequences:
a) Add 'active' member to struct tlb_batch
b) Define __HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE
c) Set 'active' in arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode()
d) Run batch and clear 'active' in arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode()
e) Check 'active' in tlb_batch_add_one() and do a synchronous
flush if it's clear.
4) Add infrastructure for synchronous TLB page flushes.
a) Implement __flush_tlb_page and per-cpu variants, patch
as needed.
b) Likewise for xcall_flush_tlb_page.
c) Implement smp_flush_tlb_page() to invoke the cross-call.
d) Wire up global_flush_tlb_page() to the right routine based
upon CONFIG_SMP
5) It turns out that singleton batches are very common, 2 out of every
3 batch flushes have only a single entry in them.
The batch flush waiting is very expensive, both because of the poll
on sibling cpu completeion, as well as because passing the tlb batch
pointer to the sibling cpus invokes a shared memory dereference.
Therefore, in flush_tlb_pending(), if there is only one entry in
the batch perform a completely asynchronous global_flush_tlb_page()
instead.

%g2 is meant to hold the CPUID number throughout this routine, since
at the very beginning, and at the very end, we use %g2 to calculate
indexes into per-cpu arrays.
However we erroneously clobber it in order to hold the %cwp register
value mid-stream.
Fix this code to use %g3 for the %cwp read and related calulcations
instead.

So that we can profile code even in a local_irq_disable() section,
only write 14 (instead of 15) into the %pil register to disable IRQs.
This allows PIL level 15 to serve as a pseudo NMI.

- move all sparc64/mm/ files to arch/sparc/mm/
- commonly named files are named _64.c
- add files to sparc/mm/Makefile preserving link order
- delete now unused sparc64/mm/Makefile
- sparc64 now finds mm/ in sparc
