We were re-homing the initial task's kernel stack on the boot cpu,
but in fact it's better to let it stay globally homed, since that
task isn't bound to the boot cpu anyway.  This is more of a general
cleanup than an actual performance optimization, but it removes
code, which is a good thing. :-)

Previously we only handled kernels up to a single huge page in size.
Now we create additional PTEs appropriately.

<title>arch/tile: support 4KB page size as well as 64KB</title>
<updated>2011-03-10T18:17:53+00:00</updated>

<id>76c567fbba50c3da2f4d40e2e551bab26cfd4381</id>
<content type='text'>
The Tilera architecture traditionally supports 64KB page sizes
to improve TLB utilization and improve performance when the
hardware is being used primarily to run a single application.

For more generic server scenarios, it can be beneficial to run
with 4KB page sizes, so this commit allows that to be specified
(by modifying the arch/tile/include/hv/pagesize.h header).

As part of this change, we also re-worked the PTE management
slightly so that PTE writes all go through a __set_pte() function
where we can do some additional validation.  The set_pte_order()
function was eliminated since the "order" argument wasn't being used.

One bug uncovered was in the PCI DMA code, which wasn't properly
flushing the specified range.  This was benign with 64KB pages,
but with 4KB pages we were getting some larger flushes wrong.

The per-cpu memory reservation code also needed updating to
conform with the newer percpu stuff; before it always chose 64KB,
and that was always correct, but with 4KB granularity we now have
to pay closer attention and reserve the amount of memory that will
be requested when the percpu code starts allocating.

<title>arch/tile: avoid a simulator warning during bootup</title>

As the added comment says, we can sometimes see a coherence warning
from our simulator if the "swapper_pgprot" variable on the boot cpu
has not been evicted from cache by the time the other cpus come up.
Force it to be evicted so we never see the warning.

<title>arch/tile: catch up with section naming convention in 2.6.35</title>

The convention changed to, e.g., ".data..page_aligned".  This commit
fixes the places in the tile architecture that were still using the
old convention.  One tile-specific section (.init.page) was dropped
in favor of just using an "aligned" attribute.

Sam Ravnborg &lt;sam@ravnborg.org&gt; pointed out __PAGE_ALIGNED_BSS, etc.
