MIPS: Fix machine check exception in kmap_coherent()
On an SMP system with cache aliases, the following sequence of events may
happen:
1) copy_user_highpage() runs on CPU0, invoking kmap_coherent() to create a
temporary mapping in the fixmap region
2) copy_page() starts on CPU0
3) CPU1 sends CPU0 an IPI asking CPU0 to run local_r4k_flush_cache_page()
4) CPU0 takes the interrupt, interrupting copy_page()
5) local_r4k_flush_cache_page() on CPU0 calls kmap_coherent() again
6) The second invocation of kmap_coherent() on CPU0 tries to use the
same fixmap virtual address that was being used by copy_user_highpage()
7) CPU0 throws a machine check exception for the TLB address conflict
Fixed by creating an extra set of fixmap entries for use in interrupt
handlers. This prevents fixmap VA conflicts between copy_user_highpage()
running in user context, and local_r4k_flush_cache_page() invoked from an
SMP IPI.
