[RFC/PATCH v5 1/7] ARM: ARM11 MPCore: Make pgd_alloc preempt safe

[gdavis at mvista.com]

From: Konstantin Baidarov <kbaidarov at mvista.com>

If preemption and subsequent task migration occurs during a call to
pgd_alloc 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 PGDs.
