Outlining fixes the issue were on certain CPUs such as the R10000 family
the delay loop would need an extra cycle if it overlaps a cacheline
boundary.
The rewrite also fixes build errors with GCC 4.4 which was changed in
way incompatible with the kernel's inline assembly.
Relying on pure C for computation of the delay value removes the need for
explicit. The price we pay is a slight slowdown of the computation - to
be fixed on another day.

The type of the second argument of access_ok should be (void __user *).
The unnecessary conversion of the clear_user address argument was causing
sparse to emit warnings on the __chk_user_ptr check.

The address range size calculation inside local_flush_tlb_kernel_range()
is being truncated by a too small size variable holder on 64-bit systems.
The truncated size can result in an erroneous tlbsize check that means we
sit spinning inside a loop trying to flush a hige number of TLB entries.
This is for all intents and purposes a system hang. Fix by using an
appropriately sized valiable to hold the size.
[Ralf: Greg's original patch submission identified the issue and fixed one
instance in tlb-r4k.c but there there were several more. For consistency
I also modified tlb-r3k.c even though that file is only used on 32-bit.]

When init is started it is SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE. If it were to get an
address error, we would try to send it SIGBUS, but it would be ignored
and the faulting instruction restarted. This results in an endless
loop.
We need to use force_sig() instead so it will actually die and give us
some useful information.

introduces the variable _page_cachable_default, which defaults to zero and.
is used to create the prototype PTE for __kmap_atomic in
arch/mips/mm/init.c:kmap_init before initialization in
arch/mips/mm/c-r4k.c:coherency_setup, so the default value of 0 will be
used as the CCA of kmap atomic pages which on many processors is not a
defined CCA value and may result in writes to kmap_atomic pages getting
corrupted. Debugged by Jon Fraser (jfraser@broadcom.com).
