This series aims at reducing exception/syscall prologs complexity.
It also brings earlier MMU re-activation.
At the time being, we have two pathes in the prologs: one for
when we have CONFIG_VMAP stack and one when we don't.
Among 40x, 6xx and 8xx, only 40x doesn't support VMAP stack.
When VMAP stack is supported, there is special prolog code to
allow accessing stack with MMU on.
That code that access VM stack with MMU on is also able to access
linear memory, so it can also access non VM stack with MMU on.
CONFIG_VMAP_STACK as been on by default on 6xx and 8xx for some
kernel releases now, so it is known to work.
On the 8xx, null_syscall runs in 292 cycles with VMAP_STACK and in
296 cycles without VMAP stack.
On the 832x, null_syscall runs in 224 cycles with VMAP_STACK and in
213 cycles without VMAP stack.
By removing the old non VMAP stack code, and using the same prolog
regardless of the activation of VMAP stacks, we make the code a lot
simplier and open perspective to even more.
Once this is done, we can easily go one step further and re-activate
Instruction translation at the same time as data translation.
At the end, null_syscall runs in 286 cycles on the 8xx and in 216
cycles on the 832x
To do this, I splitted head_32.h in two files, one for 40x which
doesn't have VMAP stack and one for 6xx and 8xx that have VMAP stack.
Now that we have MMU back on earlier on the 6xx and 8xx, once the 40x is
gone it will be possible have more commonalities with book3e/32 which
has MMU always on.
