[PATCH v2 05/10] ARM: idmap: add header file for identity mapping functions

Hi Will,

I'm wondering why identity_mapping_del() is restricted to SMP.

Yes have seen that the only current _user_ is SMP initialization, but does 
that mean it has to be restricted to that ?

I'd want to use it in hibernation resume code, to "cleanse" swapper_pg_dir 
of the identity mappings _after_ resume. That task doesn't depend on SMP 
or not.

Thanks,
FrankH.
