Implement clear_page_asm and copy_page_asm. These are optimized routines to
clear and copy a page. I tested prefetch optimizations in clear_page_asm and
copy_page_asm but didn't see any significant performance improvement on rp3440.
I'm not sure if these are routines are significantly faster than memset and/or
memcpy, but they are there for further performance evaluation.
TLB purge operations on PA 1.X SMP machines are now serialized with the help of
the new tlb_lock() and tlb_unlock() macros, since on some PA-RISC machines, TLB
purges need to be serialized in software. Obviously, lock isn't needed in UP
kernels. On PA 2.0 machines, there is a local TLB instruction which is much
less disruptive to the memory subsystem. No lock is needed for local purge.
Loops are also unrolled in flush_instruction_cache_local and
flush_data_cache_local.
The implementation of what used to be copy_user_page (now copy_user_page_asm)
is now fixed. Additionally 64-bit support is now added. Read the preceding
comment which I didn't change. I left the comment but it is now inaccurate.

As pointed out by serveral people, PA1.1 only has a type 26 instruction
meaning that the space register must be explicitly encoded. Not giving an
explicit space means that the compiler uses the type 24 version which is PA2.0
only resulting in an illegal instruction crash.
This regression was caused by

The kernel has an 8M tmpailas space (originally designed for copying
and clearing pages but now only used for clearing). The idea is
to place zeros into the cache above a physical page rather than into
the physical page and flush the cache, because often the zeros end up
being replaced quickly anyway.
We can also use the tmpalias space for flushing a page. The difference
here is that we have to do tmpalias processing in the non access data and
instruction traps. The principle is the same: as long as we know the physical
address and have a virtual address congruent to the real one, the flush will
be effective.
In order to use the tmpalias space, the icache miss path has to be enhanced to
check for the alias region to make the fic instruction effective.

This trivial patch fixes the following section warnings on PARISC:
> WARNING: vmlinux.o (.text.1): unexpected section name.
>The (.[number]+) following section name are ld generated and not expected.
> Did you forget to use "ax"/"aw" in a .S file?
> Note that for example <linux/init.h> contains
> section definitions for use in .S files.

More work towards supporing multiple page sizes on 64-bit. Convert
some assumptions that 64bit uses 3 level page tables into testing
PT_NLEVELS. Also some BUG() to BUG_ON() conversions and some cleanups
to assembler.

replace use of "0" with "%r0" since PA 1.1 I/D flush ops only take a
general register and not an immediate value for the index field.
This just forces the code to always be PA 1.1 "clean".

2.6.12-rc2-pa3 fix copy_user_page_asm to NOT access past end of page.
My bad. /o\
Lamont confirmed that instructions following a conditional
branch are *alway* executed regardless if the branch is taken or not.
Unless they are nullified (which was missing in this case).
He also noted:
Conditional branches nullify on forward taken branch, and on
non-taken backward branch. Note that .+4 is a backwards branch.
This makes alot more sense than the giberish in the PA20 arch book.
Compiles and boots on both 64-bit (a500) and 32-bit (j6k).

2.6.12-rc4-pa3 : first pass at making sure use of RFI conforms to
PA 2.0 arch pages F-4 and F-5, PA 1.1 Arch page 3-19 and 3-20.
The discussion revolves around all the rules for clearing PSW Q-bit.
The hard part is meeting all the rules for "relied upon translation".
.align directive is used to guarantee the critical sequence ends more than
8 instructions (32 bytes) from the end of page.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
