[PATCH 0/4] Consolidate identity mapping code in idmap.c

[Will Deacon]

Hello,

This patch series consolidates the identity mapping code into idmap.c,
where a single set of page tables (idmap_pgd) are allocated and populated
at init time for use by subsystems such as soft reboot, kexec and CPU
suspend.

A new linker section (.idmap.text) is introduced so that code which
needs to be identity mapped can be annotated with __idmap or, if written
in assembly, placed there explicitly.

CPU suspend, cpu_*_reset and setup_mm_for_reboot are all updated to work
with the new mapping code.

This is currently based on 3.2-rc2, but will be based on Russell's reset
branch when it comes to merging (where the prototype of
setup_mm_for_reboot has changed slightly). Furthermore, I have rebased
my kexec series against this which I will post separately.

Comments welcome.

Cheers,

Will
