Claim the initrd memory exclusively, and order other memory
reservations beforehand. This allows us to determine whether
the initrd memory was overwritten, and disable the initrd in
that case.
This avoids a 'bad page state' bug.

free_area_init_node() gets passed in the node id as well as the node
descriptor. This is redundant as the function can trivially get the node
descriptor itself by means of NODE_DATA() and the node's id.
I checked all the users and NODE_DATA() seems to be usable everywhere
from where this function is called.

This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
between crashkernel area and already used memory.
This patch:
Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
has been reserved in the past. This is to avoid conflicts.
Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
inside reserve_bootmem_core().

Lots of places in arch/arm were needlessly including linux/ptrace.h,
resumably because we used to pass a struct pt_regs to interrupt
handlers. Now that we don't, all these ptrace.h includes are
redundant.

show_mem() was assuming incorrectly that the mem_map for any
node started at PFN 0. This is obviously wrong; fix it to
take account of node_start_pfn.

show_mem() was not correctly handling holes in the memory
map. It was treating the freed sections of the map as
though they contained valid struct page entries. This
could cause incorrect debugging output or even a kernel
panic.
This patch keeps the struct meminfo around after system
initialization so that show_mem() can use it when
scanning memory. show_mem() now walks over each bank
of each online node, rather than assuming that each node
contains a single contiguous bank.

The ARM XIP_KERNEL map created in devicemaps_init() is wrong.
The map.pfn is rounded down to an even 1MiB section boundary
which results in va/pa translations errors when XIP_PHYS_ADDR
starts on an odd 1MiB boundary and this causes the kernel to
hang. This patch fixes ARM XIP_KERNEL translation errors for
the odd 1MiB XIP_PHYS_ADDR boundary case.

set_page_count usage outside mm/ is limited to setting the refcount to 1.
Remove set_page_count from outside mm/, and replace those users with
init_page_count() and set_page_refcounted().
This allows more debug checking, and tighter control on how code is allowed
to play around with page->_count.

Document that the VMALLOC_END address must be aligned to 2MB since

Allocate the vectors page early so that the flush_cache_all() later

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
