sparc64: Validate linear D-TLB misses.
When page alloc debugging is not enabled, we essentially accept any virtual address for linear kernel TLB misses. But with kgdb, kernel address probing, and other facilities we can try to access arbitrary crap. So, make sure the address we miss on will translate to physical memory that actually exists. In order to make this work we have to embed the valid address bitmap into the kernel image. And in order to make that less expensive we make an adjustment, in that the max physical memory address is decreased to "1 << 41", even on the chips that support a 42-bit physical address space. We can do this because bit 41 indicates "I/O space" and thus covers non-memory ranges. The result of this is that: 1) kpte_linear_bitmap shrinks from 2K to 1K in size 2) we need 64K more for the valid address bitmap We can't let the valid address bitmap be dynamically allocated once we start using it to validate TLB misses, otherwise we have crazy issues to deal with wrt. recursive TLB misses and such. If we're in a TLB miss it could be the deepest trap level that's legal inside of the cpu. So if we TLB miss referencing the bitmap, the cpu will be out of trap levels and enter RED state. To guard against out-of-range accesses to the bitmap, we have to check to make sure no bits in the physical address above bit 40 are set. We could export and use last_valid_pfn for this check, but that's just an unnecessary extra memory reference. On the plus side of all this, since we load all of these translations into the special 4MB mapping TSB, and we check the TSB first for TLB misses, there should be absolutely no real cost for these new checks in the TLB miss path.
