fb93a1c75e [ARM] pgtable: swp pte layout documentation, definitions, and check
Document the layout of our swp PTE entries, adding definitions for
the bit masks/shifts/sizes, and implement MAX_SWAPFILES_CHECK()
such that we fail to build if we are unable to properly encode the
swp type field.

924a158a12 [ARM] Convert pmd_page() to be highmem safe
In the long run, we may want to place page tables in highmem.  However,
pmd_page() has traditionally been coded to convert the physical address
to a virtual one, which won't work with highmem pages.  Instead,
translate the physical address to a PFN, and then convert the PFN to a
struct page instead.

8ec53663d2 [ARM] Improve non-executable support
Add support for detecting non-executable stack binaries, and adjust
permissions to prevent execution from data and stack areas.  Also,
ensure that READ_IMPLIES_EXEC is enabled for older CPUs where that
is true, and for any executable-stack binary.

db5b716947 [ARM] Remove MT_DEVICE_IXP2000 and associated definitions
As of the previous commit, MT_DEVICE_IXP2000 encodes to the same
PTE bit encoding as MT_DEVICE, so it's now redundant.  Convert
MT_DEVICE_IXP2000 to use MT_DEVICE instead, and remove its aliases.

bb30f36f9b [ARM] Introduce new PTE memory type bits
Provide L_PTE_MT_xxx definitions to describe the memory types that we
use in Linux/ARM.  These definitions are carefully picked such that:

1. their LSBs match what is required for pre-ARMv6 CPUs.
2. they all have a unique encoding, including after modification
   by build_mem_type_table() (the result being that some have more
   than one combination.)
