The VM subsystem assumes that there are valid memmap entries from
the bank start aligned to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES.

On the Ux500 we have a lot of mem=N arguments on the commandline
triggering this bug several times over and causing kernel
oops messages.

<title>ARM: 7067/1: mm: keep significant bits in pfn_valid</title>

<content type='text'>
When ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL is selected, pfn_valid calls
memblock_is_memory to test validity of a pfn:

&gt; memblock_is_memory(pfn &lt;&lt; PAGE_SHIFT);

On LPAE systems this cuts off the top bits, as the shift occurs before
the value is promoted to a phys_addr_t.

This patch replaces the shift with a call to __pfn_to_phys (which casts
pfn to phys_addr_t before shifting), preventing the loss of significant
bits.

poison_init_mem() used a loop of:

	while ((count = count - 4))

which has 2 problems - an off by one error so that we do one less word
than we should, and the other is that if count == 0 then we loop forever
and poison too much.  On a platform with HAVE_TCM=y but nothing in the
TCM's, this caused corruption and the platform failed to boot.

Having this value defined at compile time prevents multiple machines with
conflicting definitions to coexist.  Move it to a variable in preparation
for having a per machine value selected at run time.  This is relevant
only when CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is selected.

ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD has been unused by non-arch code, so lets now get
rid of it from ARM by replacing it with arm_dma_zone_mask.  Move
dma_supported() and dma_set_mask() out of line, and have
dma_supported() check this new variable instead.

Poisoning __init marked memory can be useful when tracking down
obscure memory corruption bugs. Therefore, poison init memory
with 0xe7fddef0 to catch bugs earlier. The poison value is an
undefined instruction in ARM mode and branch to an undefined
instruction in Thumb mode.

Place the init sections between the text and data sections.  This
means all code is grouped together at the beginning of the kernel
image, and all data is at the end of the image.  This avoids problems
with the 24-bit branch instruction relocations becoming invalid with
large initramfs images.
