Increase the page allocator's per-cpu magazines from 1/4MB to 1/2MB.
Over 100+ runs for a workload, the difference in mean is about 2%. The best
results for both are almost same. Though the max variation in results with
1/2MB is only 2.2%, whereas with 1/4MB it is 12%.

It turns out that the original swap token implementation, by Song Jiang, only
enforced the swap token while the task holding the token is handling a page
fault. This patch approximates that, without adding an additional flag to the
mm_struct, by checking whether the mm->mmap_sem is held for reading, like the
page fault code does.
This patch has the effect of automatically, and gradually, disabling the
enforcement of the swap token when there is little or no paging going on, and
"turning up" the intensity of the swap token code the more the task holding
the token is thrashing.
Thanks to Song Jiang for pointing out this aspect of the token based thrashing
control concept.
The new code shows a slight degradation over the old swap token code, but
still a big win over running without the swap token.

Add sem_is_read/write_locked functions to the read/write semaphores, along the

Patch from Nicolas Pitre
Since vmlinux.lds.S is preprocessed, we can use the defines already
present in asm/memory.h (allowed by patch #3060) for the XIP kernel link
address instead of relying on a duplicated Makefile hardcoded value, and
also get rid of its dependency on awk to handle it at the same time.
While at it let's clean XIP stuff even further and make things clearer
in head.S with a nice code reduction.

This patch allows for assorted type of cleanups by letting assembly code
use the same set of defines for constant values and avoid duplicated
definitions that might not always be in sync, or that might simply be
confusing due to the different names for the same thing.

CFE 1.2.5 and earlier fails to turn on the ExpMemEn bit in the
PCIFeatureControl register, which means that DMA does not work
beyond physical address 01_0000_0000, ergo to DRAM beyond 1GB.
With ExpMemEn turned on, 01_0000_0000-0f_ffff_ffff is mapped,
so DMA works for up to 61 GB of DRAM.
Will be fixed in CFE 1.2.6 (yet to be released).
