[RFC/PATCH v3 2/7] ARM: ARM11 MPCore: pte_alloc_one{, _kernel} are not preempt safe

[gdavis at mvista.com]

From: George G. Davis <gdavis at mvista.com>

If preemption and subsequent task migration occurs during a call to
pte_alloc_one{,_kernel} on ARM11 MPCore machines, global memory state
can become inconsistent.  To prevent inconsistent memory state on
these machines, disable preemption around initialization and flushing
of new PTEs.
