+MMUv3 initialization sequence.
+
+The code in the initialize_mmu macro sets up MMUv3 memory mapping
+identically to MMUv2 fixed memory mapping. Depending on
+CONFIG_INITIALIZE_XTENSA_MMU_INSIDE_VMLINUX symbol this code is
+located in one of the following address ranges:
+
+ 0xF0000000..0xFFFFFFFF (will keep same address in MMU v2 layout;
+ typically ROM)
+ 0x00000000..0x07FFFFFF (system RAM; this code is actually linked
+ at 0xD0000000..0xD7FFFFFF [cached]
+ or 0xD8000000..0xDFFFFFFF [uncached];
+ in any case, initially runs elsewhere
+ than linked, so have to be careful)
+
+The code has the following assumptions:
+ This code fragment is run only on an MMU v3.
+ TLBs are in their reset state.
+ ITLBCFG and DTLBCFG are zero (reset state).
+ RASID is 0x04030201 (reset state).
+ PS.RING is zero (reset state).
+ LITBASE is zero (reset state, PC-relative literals); required to be PIC.
+
+TLB setup proceeds along the following steps.
+
+ Legend:
+ VA = virtual address (two upper nibbles of it);
+ PA = physical address (two upper nibbles of it);
+ pc = physical range that contains this code;
+
+After step 2, we jump to virtual address in 0x40000000..0x5fffffff
+that corresponds to next instruction to execute in this code.
+After step 4, we jump to intended (linked) address of this code.
+
+ Step 0 Step1 Step 2 Step3 Step 4 Step5
