Yeah, I felt that file had way too much white space in it :-)

Nope. 

I really should review my own patches before posting them :-) Guess I
was in a hurry to go home.

This is just moved from it's previous location in mmu_context.h, and
yes, as it is, it's mostly documentation.

I think some FSL can get more contexts, dunno, this is also just
existing code moved. In any case, I plan to remove those and make the
whole context count runtime selected anyway.

Same as above, existing code moved from mmu_context_32.c, not the place
to change that though it's a good catch. I don't think I still have this
issue after the next patch but I'll dbl check.

Right well... I had something in mind for those that didn't make it into
this patch, I can remove them.
