ARM: proc-arm94*.S: fix setup function

Both ARM946 and ARM940 setup functions were corrupting r1 and r2,
which is not permissible - these are used to carry the machine ID
and boot data into the kernel, and must be preserved.

The code responsible for this was the same in both files: they were
using the registers to generate a protection region register value.

Fix this by turning this process into a macro, and using that macro
in both these files with an alternative register allocation. r0,
r3 and r7 can be used for temporary values here.

ARM: 8314/1: replace PROCINFO embedded branch with relative offset

This patch replaces the 'branch to setup()' instructions embedded
in the PROCINFO structs with the offset to that setup function
relative to the base of the struct. This preserves the position
independent nature of that field, but uses a data item rather
than an instruction.

This is mainly done to prevent linker failures on large kernels,
where the setup function is out of reach for the branch.

I pushed a version of the crypto iov_iter bug fix that
Al Viro wrote, but Linus put in a different copy of the
same fix into his tree.

I then reverted my commit in net-next, and that's why we have a merge
when pulling in Linus's tree.

Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)

Merge misc updates from Andrew Morton:
"Bite-sized chunks this time, to avoid the MTA ratelimiting woes.

- fs/notify updates

- ocfs2

- some of MM"

That laconic "some MM" is mainly the removal of remap_file_pages(),
which is a big simplification of the VM, and which gets rid of a *lot*
of random cruft and special cases because we no longer support the
non-linear mappings that it used.

From a user interface perspective, nothing has changed, because the
remap_file_pages() syscall still exists, it's just done by emulating the
old behavior by creating a lot of individual small mappings instead of
one non-linear one.

The emulation is slower than the old "native" non-linear mappings, but
nobody really uses or cares about remap_file_pages(), and simplifying
the VM is a big advantage.
