[PATCH v9 00/15] ARM: Add support for the Large Physical Address Extensions

This is version 9 of the set of patches adding support for the Large
Physical Address Extensions on the ARM architecture (available with the
Cortex-A15 and Cortex-A7 processors).

This patch set against 3.2-rc1 is available on this branch:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmarinas/linux.git for-next

The patch set also includes Russell's nopud patch with an additional
fix-up to be reviewed (they are not in mainline yet but LPAE depends on
them).


Changelog (from v8, updates following review):

- Removed the ATAG_MEM64 patch.
- Removed the different PMD_SECT_XN definition for asm.
- proc-v7.S fixes for SMP/UP instructions pairing.
- Removed references to PHYS_OFFSET in proc-v7.S and added comment about
  VMSPLIT_1G.
- pr_fmt() definition removed from idmap.c.
- ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT now defaults to false without any dependencies.
  Platforms should select this explicitly.
- Reordered the nopud fixup with Russell's nopud patch.

Known issues:

- idmap_add_pmd() still cannot be called in an atomic context but the
  kexec patches re-implement the setup_mm_for_reboot() function and it
  no longer calls identity_mapping_add().
