This patch fixes the following compile error caused by
commit 4016a1390d07f15b267eecb20e76a48fd5c524ef
(mm/nommu.c: return 0 from kobjsize with invalid objects):

The patch also removes now no longer required memory_{start,end}
declarations inside access_ok().

<title>kernel: Move arches to use common unaligned access</title>

Unaligned access is ok for the following arches:
cris, m68k, mn10300, powerpc, s390, x86

Arches that use the memmove implementation for native endian, and
the byteshifting for the opposite endianness.
h8300, m32r, xtensa

Packed struct for native endian, byteshifting for other endian:
alpha, blackfin, ia64, parisc, sparc, sparc64, mips, sh

m86knommu is generic_be for Coldfire, otherwise unaligned access is ok.

frv, arm chooses endianness based on compiler settings, uses the byteshifting
versions.  Remove the unaligned trap handler from frv as it is now unused.

v850 is le, uses the byteshifting versions for both be and le.

Remove the now unused asm-generic implementation.

<title>mm: introduce pte_special pte bit</title>

<id>7e675137a8e1a4d45822746456dd389b65745bf6</id>
<content type='text'>
s390 for one, cannot implement VM_MIXEDMAP with pfn_valid, due to their memory
model (which is more dynamic than most).  Instead, they had proposed to
implement it with an additional path through vm_normal_page(), using a bit in
the pte to determine whether or not the page should be refcounted:

vm_normal_page()
{
	...
        if (unlikely(vma-&gt;vm_flags &amp; (VM_PFNMAP|VM_MIXEDMAP))) {
                if (vma-&gt;vm_flags &amp; VM_MIXEDMAP) {
#ifdef s390
			if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))
				return NULL;
#else
                        if (!pfn_valid(pfn))
                                return NULL;
#endif
                        goto out;
                }
	...
}

This is fine, however if we are allowed to use a bit in the pte to determine
refcountedness, we can use that to _completely_ replace all the vma based
schemes.  So instead of adding more cases to the already complex vma-based
scheme, we can have a clearly seperate and simple pte-based scheme (and get
slightly better code generation in the process):

vm_normal_page()
{
#ifdef s390
	if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))
		return NULL;
	return pte_page(pte);
#else
	...
#endif
}

And finally, we may rather make this concept usable by any architecture rather
than making it s390 only, so implement a new type of pte state for this.
Unfortunately the old vma based code must stay, because some architectures may
not be able to spare pte bits.  This makes vm_normal_page a little bit more
ugly than we would like, but the 2 cases are clearly seperate.

So introduce a pte_special pte state, and use it in mm/memory.c.  It is
currently a noop for all architectures, so this doesn't actually result in any
compiled code changes to mm/memory.o.

BTW:
I haven't put vm_normal_page() into arch code as-per an earlier suggestion.
The reason is that, regardless of where vm_normal_page is actually
implemented, the *abstraction* is still exactly the same. Also, while it
depends on whether the architecture has pte_special or not, that is the
only two possible cases, and it really isn't an arch specific function --
the role of the arch code should be to provide primitive functions and
accessors with which to build the core code; pte_special does that. We do
not want architectures to know or care about vm_normal_page itself, and
we definitely don't want them being able to invent something new there
out of sight of mm/ code. If we made vm_normal_page an arch function, then
we have to make vm_insert_mixed (next patch) an arch function too. So I
don't think moving it to arch code fundamentally improves any abstractions,
while it does practically make the code more difficult to follow, for both
mm and arch developers, and easier to misuse.

Semaphores are no longer performance-critical, so a generic C
implementation is better for maintainability, debuggability and
extensibility.  Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for fixing the lockdep
warning.  Thanks to Harvey Harrison for pointing out that the
unlikely() was unnecessary.

Currently include/linux/kvm.h is not considered by make headers_install,
because Kbuild cannot handle " unifdef-$(CONFIG_FOO) += foo.h.  This problem
was introduced by

    KVM: Export include/linux/kvm.h only if $ARCH actually supports KVM

    Currently, make headers_check barfs due to &lt;asm/kvm.h&gt;, which &lt;linux/kvm.h&gt;
    includes, not existing.  Rather than add a zillion &lt;asm/kvm.h&gt;s, export kvm.
    only if the arch actually supports it.

which makes this an 2.6.25 regression.

One way of solving the issue is to enhance Kbuild, but Avi and David conviced
me, that changing headers_install is not the way to go.  This patch changes
the definition for linux/kvm.h to unifdef-y.

If  unifdef-y is used for linux/kvm.h "make headers_check" will fail on all
architectures without asm/kvm.h.  Therefore, this patch also provides
asm/kvm.h on all architectures.
