Hi,

This is an update of the existent MPU code which consist set of
clean-ups and enhancements. The most significant changes are in the
way how MPU settings sync-up for secondaries (PATCH 3/8), more
flexible layout for memory (PATCH 7/8) and support for XIP (PATCH
8/8). Since there is no in-tree user of MPU, support for M-class has
been added (PATCH 6/8).

There is also practical benefit of patch set:

"These MPU patches introduce a nice feature that it simplifies the
bootloader: do not need to setup the MPU, for example for coherent DMA
region, which is described in device-tree too." András Szemző

Changelog:
           v2 -> v3
              - fixed support for XIP (PATCH 8/8)
	      - rebased on 4.14-rc2

           v1 -> v2
              - support for XIP (PATCH 8/8)
	      - rebased on 4.13-rc1

        RFC v2 -> v1
               - dropped RFC tag
	       - Tested-by from András
	       - rebased on 4.12-rc5

           RFC -> RFC v2
	       - fixed MPU enable for v7m (PATCH 6/7)

Thanks!
