gdbserver inserting a breakpoint ends up calling copy_user_page() for a
code page. The generic version of which (non-aliasing config) didn't set
the PG_arch_1 bit hence update_mmu_cache() didn't sync dcache/icache for
corresponding dynamic loader code page - causing garbade to be executed.
So now aliasing versions of copy_user_highpage()/clear_page() are made
default. There is no significant overhead since all of special alias
handling code is compiled out for non-aliasing build

This is the meat of the series which prevents any dcache alias creation
by always keeping the U and K mapping of a page congruent.
If a mapping already exists, and other tries to access the page, prev
one is flushed to physical page (wback+inv)
Essentially flush_dcache_page()/copy_user_highpage() create K-mapping
of a page, but try to defer flushing, unless U-mapping exist.
When page is actually mapped to userspace, update_mmu_cache() flushes
the K-mapping (in certain cases this can be optimised out)
Additonally flush_cache_mm(), flush_cache_range(), flush_cache_page()
handle the puring of stale userspace mappings on exit/munmap...
flush_anon_page() handles the existing U-mapping for anon page before
kernel reads it via the GUP path.
Note that while not complete, this is enough to boot a simple
dynamically linked Busybox based rootfs

Implement ioremap_prot() to allow mapping IO memory with variable
protection
via TLB.
Implementing this allows the /dev/mem driver to use its generic access()
VMA callback, which in turn allows ptrace to examine data in memory
mapped regions mapped via /dev/mem, such as Arc DCCM.
The end result is that it is possible to examine values of variables
placed into DCCM in user space programs via GDB.

1. ./genfilelist.pl arch/arc/include/asm/
2. Create arch/arc/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild as follows
+# UAPI Header export list
+include include/uapi/asm-generic/Kbuild.asm
3. ./disintegrate-one.pl arch/arc/include/{,uapi/}asm/<above-list>
4. Edit arch/arc/include/asm/Kbuild to remove ref to
asm-generic/Kbuild.asm
- To work around empty uapi/asm/setup.h added a placholder comment.
- Also a manual #ifdef __ASSEMBLY__ for a late ptrace change

To disallow user-space visibility into some of the core kernel data-types
such as struct pt_regs, #ifdef __KERNEL__ which also makes the UAPI header
spit (further patch in the series) to NOT export it to asm/uapi/ptrace.h
