414c109bdf arm64: mm: always map fixmap at page granularity
Today the fixmap code largely maps elements at PAGE_SIZE granularity,
but we special-case the FDT mapping such that it can be mapped with 2M
block mappings when 4K pages are in use. The original rationale for this
was simplicity, but it has some unfortunate side-effects, and
complicates portions of the fixmap code (i.e. is not so simple after
all).

The FDT can be up to 2M in size but is only required to have 8-byte
alignment, and so it may straddle a 2M boundary. Thus when using 2M
block mappings we may map up to 4M of memory surrounding the FDT. This
is unfortunate as most of that memory will be unrelated to the FDT, and
any pages which happen to share a 2M block with the FDT will by mapped
with Normal Write-Back Cacheable attributes, which might not be what we
want elsewhere (e.g. for carve-outs using Non-Cacheable attributes).

The logic to handle mapping the FDT with 2M blocks requires some special
cases in the fixmap code, and ties it to the early page table
configuration by virtue of the SWAPPER_TABLE_SHIFT and
SWAPPER_BLOCK_SIZE constants used to determine the granularity used to
map the FDT.

This patch simplifies the FDT logic and removes the unnecessary mappings
of surrounding pages by always mapping the FDT at page granularity as
with all other fixmap mappings. To do so we statically reserve multiple
PTE tables to cover the fixmap VA range. Since the FDT can be at most
2M, for 4K pages we only need to allocate a single additional PTE table,
and for 16K and 64K pages the existing single PTE table is sufficient.

The PTE table allocation scales with the number of slots reserved in the
fixmap, and so this also makes it easier to add more fixmap entries if
we require those in future.

Our VA layout means that the fixmap will always fall within a single PMD
table (and consequently, within a single PUD/P4D/PGD entry), which we
can verify at compile time with a static_assert(). With that assert a
number of runtime warnings become impossible, and are removed.

I've boot-tested this patch with both 4K and 64K pages.

b97547761b arm64: mm: move fixmap code to its own file
Over time, arm64's mm/mmu.c has become increasingly large and painful to
navigate. Move the fixmap code to its own file where it can be understood in
isolation.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
