metag: Memory handling
Meta has instructions for accessing: - bytes - GETB (1 byte) - words - GETW (2 bytes) - doublewords - GETD (4 bytes) - longwords - GETL (8 bytes) All accesses must be aligned. Unaligned accesses can be detected and made to fault on Meta2, however it isn't possible to fix up unaligned writes so we don't bother fixing up reads either. This patch adds metag memory handling code including: - I/O memory (io.h, ioremap.c): Actually any virtual memory can be accessed with these helpers. A part of the non-MMUable address space is used for memory mapped I/O. The ioremap() function is implemented one to one for non-MMUable addresses. - User memory (uaccess.h, usercopy.c): User memory is directly accessible from privileged code. - Kernel memory (maccess.c): probe_kernel_write() needs to be overwridden to use the I/O functions when doing a simple aligned write to non-writecombined memory, otherwise the write may be split by the generic version.
