After moving the the include files there were a few clean-ups:
1) Some files used #include <asm-ia64/xyz.h>, changed to <asm/xyz.h>
2) Some comments alerted maintainers to look at various header files to
make matching updates if certain code were to be changed. Updated these
comments to use the new include paths.
3) Some header files mentioned their own names in initial comments. Just
deleted these self references.

paravirtualization friendly.
make kernel paravirtualization friendly by introducing
ia64_set_rr0_to_rr4().
ia64/Xen will replace setting rr[0-4] with single hypercall later.

Add hooks to allow a paravirt implementation to track the lifetime of
an mm. Paravirtualization requires three hooks, but only two are
needed in common code. They are:
arch_dup_mmap, which is called when a new mmap is created at fork
arch_exit_mmap, which is called when the last process reference to an
mm is dropped, which typically happens on exit and exec.
The third hook is activate_mm, which is called from the arch-specific
activate_mm() macro/function, and so doesn't need stub versions for
other architectures. It's called when an mm is first used.

wrap_mmu_context(), delayed_tlb_flush(), get_mmu_context() all
have an extra { } block which cause one extra indentation.
get_mmu_context() is particularly bad with 5 indentations to
the most inner "if". It finally gets on my nerve that I can't
keep the code within 80 columns. Remove the extra { } block
and while I'm at it, reformat all the comments to 80-column
friendly. No functional change at all with this patch.

Corrects the very inefficent method of finding free context_ids in
get_mmu_context(). Instead of walking the task_list of all processes,
2 bitmaps are used to efficently store and lookup state, inuse and
needs flushing. The entire rid address space is now used before calling
wrap_mmu_context and global tlb flushing.
Special thanks to Ken and Rohit for their review and modifications in
using a bit flushmap.

Currently, region numbers are defined in several files, with several
names. For example, we have REGION_KERNEL in asm/page.h and
RGN_KERNEL in pgtable.h
We also have address definitions that should depend on the
RGN_XXX macros, but are currently just long constants.
The following patch reorganises all the definitions so that they have
the same form (RGN_XXX), are in one place, and that addresses that
depend on RGN_XXX are derived from them.
(This is a necessary but not sufficient patch to allow UML-like
operation on IA64).
Thanks to David Mosberger for catching the change I missed in mmu_context.h.

The patch below should fix a race which could cause stale TLB entries.
Specifically, when 2 CPUs ended up racing for entrance to
wrap_mmu_context(). The losing CPU would find that by the time it
acquired ctx.lock, mm->context already had a valid value, but then it
failed to (re-)check the delayed TLB flushing logic and hence could
end up using a context number when there were still stale entries in
its TLB. The fix is to check for delayed TLB flushes only after
mm->context is valid (non-zero). The patch also makes GCC v4.x
happier by defining a non-volatile variant of mm_context_t called
nv_mm_context_t.

There's another problem shown up by Ingo's recent patch to make
smp_processor_id() complain if it's called with preemption enabled.
local_finish_flush_tlb_mm() calls activate_context() in a situation
where it could be rescheduled to another processor. This patch
disables preemption around the call.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
