065cf519c3 [ARM] armv7: add support for asid-tagged VIVT I-cache
ARMv7 can have VIPT, PIPT or ASID-tagged VIVT I-cache. This patch
adds the necessary invalidation of the I-cache when the ASID numbers
are re-used.

8678c1f042 [ARM] Fix ASID version switch
Close a hole in the ASID version switch, particularly the following
scenario:

CPU0 MM PID			CPU1 MM PID
	idle
				  A	pid(A)
				  A	idle(lazy tlb)
		* new asid version triggered by B *
  B	pid(B)
  A	pid(A)
		* MM A gets new asid version *
  A	idle(lazy tlb)
				  A	pid(A)
		* CPU1 doesn't see the new ASID *

The result is that CPU1 continues running with the hardware set
for the original (stale) ASID value, but mm->context.id contains
the new ASID value.  The result is that the next MM fault on CPU1
updates the page table entries, but flush_tlb_page() fails due to
wrong ASID.

There is a related case with a threaded application is allocated
a new ASID on one CPU while another of its threads is running on
some different CPU.  This scenario is not fixed by this commit.

9d99df4b10 [ARM] 4128/1: Architecture compliant TTBR changing sequence
On newer architectures (ARMv6, ARMv7), the depth of the prefetch and
branch prediction is implementation defined and there is a small risk
of wrong ASID tagging when changing TTBR0 before setting the new
context id. The recommended solution is to set a reserved ASID during
TTBR changing. This patch reserves ASID 0.

d84b47115a [ARM] Move mmu.c out of the way
Rename mmu.c to context.c - it's the ARMv6 ASID context handling
code rather than generic "mmu" handling code.
