[PATCH] arm: mm: Populate initial page tables across sections

[Laura Abbott]

The current code for setting up initial page tables does
not take into account section spanning for the non-section
case. This may result in incorrect population of page tables
and unexpected aborts. These problems have been observed in two cases:

1) An iomap entry that is not section aligned but the mapped size is
greater than the section size
2) Removal a block of section aligned memory with memblock remove and
remapping of a separate region of memory to 4k chunks as part of CMA

The solution is to call alloc_init_pte in SECTION_SIZE chunks. This
ensures that alloc_init_pte will populate the page tables
correctly.
