Currently parisc has the whole kernel marked as RWX, meaning any
kernel page at all is eligible to be executed. This can cause a
theoretical problem on systems with combined I/D TLB because the act
of referencing a page causes a TLB insertion with an executable bit.
This TLB entry may be used by the CPU as the basis for speculating the
page into the I-Cache. If this speculated page is subsequently used
for a user process, there is the possibility we will get a stale
I-cache line picked up as the binary executes.
As a point of good practise, only mark actual kernel text pages as
executable. The same has to be done for init_text pages, but they're
converted to data pages (and the I-Cache flushed) when the init memory
is released.

Bang in our own start_parisc call, which initializes the PDC
width, and turns on the FPU.
Previously, if CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME was on, we'd attempt to use
the FPU before we had enabled it, resulting in a difficult
to diagnose panic.
This patch causes init_per_cpu to redundantly set these for
cpu0, but this is harmless.

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.

- move boot_args[] into the init section
- move $global$ into the read_mostly section
- fix the following two section mismatches:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x9c): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:start_kernel (between '$pgt_fill_loop' and '$is_pa20')
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xa0): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:start_kernel (between '$pgt_fill_loop' and '$is_pa20')

It's been unfinished and broken long enough, and I have some ideas on how
to do it more cleanly.

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.

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!
