Andy Ross re-implementation of MMU layer with some subtle changes,
like re-using existent macros, fix page table cache property when
direct mapping it in TLB.
From Andy's original commit message:
This is a reworked MMU layer, sitting cleanly below the page table
handling in the OS. Notable differences from the original work:
+ Significantly smaller code and simpler API (just three functions to
be called from the OS/userspace/ptable layer).
+ Big README-MMU document containing my learnings over the process, so
hopefully fewer people need to go through this in the future.
+ No TLB flushing needed. Clean separation of ASIDs, just requires
that the upper levels match the ASID to the L1 page table page
consistently.
+ Vector mapping is done with a 4k page and not a 4M page, leading to
much more flexibility with hardware memory layout. The original
scheme required that the 4M region containing vecbase be mapped
virtually to a location other than the hardware address, which makes
confusing linkage with call0 and difficult initialization
constraints where the exception vectors run at different addresses
before and after MMU setup (effectively forcing them to be PIC
code).
+ More provably correct initialization, all MMU changes happen in a
single asm block with no memory accesses which would generate a
refill.
