Instead of mapping all physical memory 1:1 into core/kernel's address space,
this commit limits the 1:1 mapping to the binary image, and I/O memory
regions used by the kernel only. All subsequent memory accesses of core
are done by mapping the corresponding memory on demand, and not necessarily
1:1.
This commit has several side effects:
The page table code had to be revisited completely. The kernel inserts no
longer anything into the page tables, apart from the initial translations
to have the core/kernel image available when enabling the MMU. The page
tables and higher level translation tables are no longer named Tlb, but
Translation_table instead. There is no indirection class required to define
the translation tables of a concrete SoC, the appropriated ARM specifier
is sufficient.
The ability to map core's memory the same way like it's done for all other
protection domains, makes a special treatment of core's threads (no context
area) obsolete.
