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).

The RAMROOT function was a successful but non-portable attempt to append
the root filesystem to the end of the kernel image.  The preferred and
portable solution is to use an initramfs instead.

There have been a number of compile problems with the msp71xx configuration
ever since it was included in the linux-mips.org repository.  This patch
resolves compilation problems with attempting to reset the board using
non-existent GPIO routines.

This patch has been compile-tested against the current HEAD.

There have been a number of compile problems with the msp71xx configuration
ever since it was included in the linux-mips.org repository.  This patch
resolves the "multiple definition of plat_timer_setup" problem, and creates
the required get_c0_compare_int function.

Addition of -fwrapv option in 2.6.29 discloses possible overflow with
signed arithmetics.  For example, result of "a * 6 / 12" (int a =
400000000) is 200000000 without -fwrapv but -157913941 with -fwrapv.

Change some variable to unsigned to avoid such overflows.

I have taken Wu Zhangjin's and Philippe Vachon's version as references,
did a little modification and tested on 16K page size kernel. It works
well.

Unfornately although it already has defined cpu_has_dc_aliases as 1, 4k
page size still not working.  More work needed here.
