The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
and are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
the arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
related content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get
rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
This removes all the ARM uses of the __cpuinit macros from C code,
and all __CPUINIT from assembly code. It also had two ".previous"
section statements that were paired off against __CPUINIT
(aka .section ".cpuinit.text") that also get removed here.

As noticed by Arnaud Patard (Rtp) <arnaud.patard@rtp-net.org>, commit
865e0527d2d7 ('arm: mvebu: avoid hardcoded virtual address in
coherency code') added a postcore_initcall() to register the bus
notifier that the mvebu code needs to apply correct DMA operations on
its platform devices breaks the multiplatform boot on other platforms,
because the bus notifier registration is unconditional.
This commit fixes that by registering the bus notifier only if we have
the mvebu coherency unit described in the Device Tree. The conditional
used is exactly the same in which the bus_register_notifier() call was
originally enclosed before 865e0527d2d7 ('arm: mvebu: avoid hardcoded
virtual address in coherency code').

Now that the coherency_init() function is called a bit earlier, we can
actually read the physical address of the coherency unit registers
from the Device Tree, and communicate that to the headsmp.S code,
which avoids hardcoding a physical address.

Now that the coherency_get_cpu_count() function no longer requires a
very early mapping of the coherency unit registers, we can avoid the
hardcoded virtual address in coherency.c. However, the coherency
features are still used quite early, so we need to do the of_iomap()
early enough, at the ->init_timer() level, so we have the call of
coherency_init() at this point.
Unfortunately, at ->init_timer() time, it is not possible to register
a bus notifier, so we add a separate coherency_late_init() function
that gets called as as postcore_initcall(), when bus notifiers are
available.

The ->smp_init_cpus() function is called very early during boot, at a
point where dynamic I/O mappings are not yet possible. However, in the
Armada 370/XP implementation of this function, we have to get the
number of CPUs. We used to do that by accessing a hardware register,
which requires relying on a static I/O mapping set up by
->map_io(). Not only this requires hardcoding a virtual address, but
it also prevents us from removing the static I/O mapping.
So this commit changes the way used to get the number of CPUs: we now
use the Device Tree, which is a representation of the hardware, and
provides us the number of available CPUs. This is also more accurate,
because it potentially allows to boot the Linux kernel on only a
number of CPUs given by the Device Tree, instead of unconditionally on
all CPUs.
As a consequence, the coherency_get_cpu_count() function becomes no
longer used, so we remove it.

Armada 370 and XP come with an unit called coherency fabric. This unit
allows to use the Armada 370/XP as a nearly coherent architecture. The
coherency mechanism uses snoop filters to ensure the coherency between
caches, DRAM and devices. This mechanism needs a synchronization
barrier which guarantees that all the memory writes initiated by the
devices have reached their target and do not reside in intermediate
write buffers. That's why the architecture is not totally coherent and
we need to provide our own functions for some DMA operations.
Beside the use of the coherency fabric, the device units will have to
set the attribute flag of the decoding address window to select the
accurate coherency process for the memory transaction. This is done
each device driver programs the DRAM address windows. The value of the
attribute set by the driver is retrieved through the
orion_addr_map_cfg struct filled during the early initialization of
the platform.

The Armada 370 and Armada XP SOCs have a coherency fabric unit which
is responsible for ensuring hardware coherency between all CPUs and
between CPUs and I/O masters. This patch provides the basic support
needed for SMP.
