On some CPUs, bit 4 of section mappings means "update the
cache when written to". On others, this bit is required to
be one, and others it's required to be zero. Finally, on
ARMv6 and above, setting it turns on "no execute" and prevents
speculative prefetches.
With all these combinations, no one value fits all CPUs, so we
have to pick a value depending on the CPU type, and the area
we're mapping.

Patch from Uwe Zeisberger
The symbol is only used in arch/arm/kernel/head-common.S. This in turn
is included from arch/arm/kernel/head.S and arch/arm/kernel/head-nommu.S
which include asm-offsets.h .

added the following constants:
- MACHINFO_TYPE
- MACHINFO_NAME
- MACHINFO_PHYSIO
- MACHINFO_PGOFFIO
- PROCINFO_INITFUNC
- PROCINFO_MMUFLAGS
and removed their definition from head.S and head-nommu.S

This patch removes the reliance of iwmmxt on hand coded alignments.
Since thread_info is always 8K aligned, specifying that fpstate is
8-byte aligned achieves the same effect without needing to resort
to hand coded alignments.

Patch from Nicolas Pitre
This patch allows for assorted type of cleanups by letting assembly code
use the same set of defines for constant values and avoid duplicated
definitions that might not always be in sync, or that might simply be
confusing due to the different names for the same thing.

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!
