[PATCH] SPARC64: Fix D-cache corruption in mremap
If we move a mapping from one virtual address to another,
and this changes the virtual color of the mapping to those
pages, we can see corrupt data due to D-cache aliasing.
Check for and deal with this by overriding the move_pte()
macro. Set things up so that other platforms can cleanly
override the move_pte() macro too.
This long standing bug corrupts user memory, and in particular
has been notorious for corrupting Debian package database
files on sparc64 boxes.
