Nobody is using ptep_test_and_clear_dirty and ptep_clear_flush_dirty.  Remove
the functions from all architectures.

<title>Rework ptep_set_access_flags and fix sun4c</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8dab5241d06bfc9ee141ea78c56cde5070d7460d</id>
<content type='text'>
Some changes done a while ago to avoid pounding on ptep_set_access_flags and
update_mmu_cache in some race situations break sun4c which requires
update_mmu_cache() to always be called on minor faults.

This patch reworks ptep_set_access_flags() semantics, implementations and
callers so that it's now responsible for returning whether an update is
necessary or not (basically whether the PTE actually changed).  This allow
fixing the sparc implementation to always return 1 on sun4c.

<title>i386 mm: use pte_update() in ptep_test_and_clear_dirty()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d6f8bb1310d4745ff1d0c74eeacae31e2a3eeff1</id>
<content type='text'>
It is not safe to use pte_update_defer() in ptep_test_and_clear_young():
its only user, /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/clear_refs, drops pte lock before flushing TLB.
Use the safe though less efficient pte_update() paravirtop in its place.
Likewise in ptep_test_and_clear_dirty(), though that has no current use.

These are macros (header file dependency stops them from becoming inline
functions), so be more liberal with the underscores and parentheses.

SLUB cannot run on i386 at this point because i386 uses the page-&gt;private and
page-&gt;index field of slab pages for the pgd cache.

Make SLUB run on i386 by replacing the pgd slab cache with a quicklist.
Limit the changes as much as possible. Leave the improvised linked list in place
etc etc. This has been working here for a couple of weeks now.

<title>Clean up mostly unused IOSPACE macros</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0bb5e19d63cc1b09aed8aef3a20926ac435bb8e7</id>
<content type='text'>
Most architectures defined three macros, MK_IOSPACE_PFN(), GET_IOSPACE()
and GET_PFN() in pgtable.h.  However, the only callers of any of these
macros are in Sparc specific code, either in arch/sparc, arch/sparc64 or
drivers/sbus.

This patch removes the redundant macros from all architectures except
sparc and sparc64.

<title>move die notifier handling to common code</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1eeb66a1bb973534dc3d064920a5ca683823372e</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code.  Previous
various architectures had exactly the same code for it.  Note that the new
code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)

arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
declared and used at.  avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.
