2ffe2da3e7 ARM: dma-mapping: fix for speculative prefetching
ARMv6 and ARMv7 CPUs can perform speculative prefetching, which makes
DMA cache coherency handling slightly more interesting.  Rather than
being able to rely upon the CPU not accessing the DMA buffer until DMA
has completed, we now must expect that the cache could be loaded with
possibly stale data from the DMA buffer.

Where DMA involves data being transferred to the device, we clean the
cache before handing it over for DMA, otherwise we invalidate the buffer
to get rid of potential writebacks.  On DMA Completion, if data was
transferred from the device, we invalidate the buffer to get rid of
any stale speculative prefetches.

702b94bff3 ARM: dma-mapping: remove dmac_clean_range and dmac_inv_range
These are now unused, and so can be removed.

32cfb1b16f ARM: 5746/1: Handle possible translation errors in ARMv6/v7 coherent_user_range
This is needed because applications using the sys_cacheflush system call
can pass a memory range which isn't mapped yet even though the
corresponding vma is valid. The patch also adds unwinding annotations
for correct backtraces from the coherent_user_range() functions.

141fa40cff [ARM] 3356/1: Workaround for the ARM1136 I-cache invalidation problem
Patch from Catalin Marinas

ARM1136 erratum 371025 (category 2) specifies that, under rare
conditions, an invalidate I-cache by MVA (line or range) operation can
fail to invalidate a cache line. The recommended workaround is to
either invalidate the entire I-cache or invalidate the range by
set/way rather than MVA.

Note that for a 16K cache size, invalidating a 4K page by set/way is
equivalent to invalidating the entire I-cache.

18afea04f1 [ARM] 3294/1: don't invalidate individual BTB entries on ARMv6
Patch from Nicolas Pitre

Doing so adds a much larger cost to the loop than the cost implied by
simply invalidating the whole BTB at once.

217874feed [ARM] 2940/1: Fix BTB entry flush in arch/arm/mm/cache-v6.S
Patch from Gen FUKATSU

Invalidate BTB entry instruction flushes two instruction
at a time. Therefore this instruction should be done four
times after invalidate instruction cache line.

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!
