Some architecture would like to be triggered when a memory area is moved
through the mremap system call.
This patch is introducing a new arch_remap mm hook which is placed in the
path of mremap, and is called before the old area is unmapped (and the
arch_unmap hook is called).
The architectures which need to call this hook should define
__HAVE_ARCH_REMAP in their asm/mmu_context.h and provide the arch_remap
service with the following prototype:
void arch_remap(struct mm_struct *mm,
unsigned long old_start, unsigned long old_end,
unsigned long new_start, unsigned long new_end);
