[ARM] 2853/1: Make alloc_init_supersection() work with 36-bit mappings
Patch from Deepak Saxena Working on adding support for 36-bit static mappings for ARMv6 and Intel's XSC3 core and noticed that alloc_init_supersection currently increments the phys addr by 1MB on each of the 16 iterations and then forces alignment to supersection size (16MB). This is really uneeded b/c we have already forced the phys address to be 16MB aligned in create_mapping(). Furthermore, this breaks 36-bit addressing b/c bits [23:20] of the PMD contain bits [35:32] of the physical address and the masking causes us to loose those bits thus ending up with an incorrect virt -> phys translation. The other option is to have an alloc_init_supersection36. Tested on Intel IXP2350 CPU with 36-bit static I/O mappings.
