arm64: MMU definitions The virtual memory layout is described in Documentation/arm64/memory.txt. This patch adds the MMU definitions for the 4KB and 64KB translation table configurations. The SECTION_SIZE is 2MB with 4KB page and 512MB with 64KB page configuration. PHYS_OFFSET is calculated at run-time and stored in a variable (no run-time code patching at this stage). On the current implementation, both user and kernel address spaces are 512G (39-bit) each with a maximum of 256G for the RAM linear mapping. Linux uses 3 levels of translation tables with the 4K page configuration and 2 levels with the 64K configuration. Extending the memory space beyond 39-bit with the 4K pages or 42-bit with 64K pages requires an additional level of translation tables. The SPARSEMEM configuration is global to all AArch64 platforms and allows for 1GB sections with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP enabled by default.

Memory Layout on AArch64 Linux
==============================
Author: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
Date : 20 February 2012
This document describes the virtual memory layout used by the AArch64
Linux kernel. The architecture allows up to 4 levels of translation
tables with a 4KB page size and up to 3 levels with a 64KB page size.
AArch64 Linux uses 3 levels of translation tables with the 4KB page
configuration, allowing 39-bit (512GB) virtual addresses for both user
and kernel. With 64KB pages, only 2 levels of translation tables are
used but the memory layout is the same.
User addresses have bits 63:39 set to 0 while the kernel addresses have
the same bits set to 1. TTBRx selection is given by bit 63 of the
virtual address. The swapper_pg_dir contains only kernel (global)
mappings while the user pgd contains only user (non-global) mappings.
The swapper_pgd_dir address is written to TTBR1 and never written to
TTBR0.
arm64: Use 42-bit address space with 64K pages This patch expands the VA_BITS to 42 when the 64K page configuration is enabled allowing 2TB kernel linear mapping. Linux still uses 2 levels of page tables in this configuration with pgd now being a full page.

arm64: Add simple earlyprintk support This patch adds support for "earlyprintk=" parameter on the kernel command line. The format is: earlyprintk=<name>[,<addr>][,<options>] where <name> is the name of the (UART) device, e.g. "pl011", <addr> is the I/O address. The <options> aren't currently used. The mapping of the earlyprintk device is done very early during kernel boot and there are restrictions on which functions it can call. A special early_io_map() function is added which creates the mapping from the pre-defined EARLY_IOBASE to the device I/O address passed via the kernel parameter. The pgd entry corresponding to EARLY_IOBASE is pre-populated in head.S during kernel boot. Only PL011 is currently supported and it is assumed that the interface is already initialised by the boot loader before the kernel is started.
