Well, this is the fix for ARMv7 (and a few others). In making these
changes, I went back to DDI0100I (ARMv6 ARM), DDI0406A (ARMv7 ARM)
and the Marvell Xscale3 documentation.
I rather wish that this patch was smaller, but that would mean making
build_mem_types_table() even harder to read, which would be a mistake
given its complexity.
I noticed that coherent Xscale3 was setting the shared PTE bit for
kernel memory mappings - we never map kernel memory using PTEs, so
that's been killed.
This solves the issue Tony reported with the UART for me on the OMAP3
LDP platform. I haven't yet tested this on anything else - and it does
need testing on other CPUs. The most important thing to do is to
manually check the bit combinations - which is why this patch will dump
them out. That dumping will of course be removed in the final version.
I do not expect the issues which mkp has reported to be affected by
this patch.
Nevertheless, can as many people as possible test this please.
