powerpc/mm: Add Strong Access Ordering support
Allow an application to enable Strong Access Ordering on specific pages of
memory on Power 7 hardware. Currently, power has a weaker memory model than
x86. Implementing a stronger memory model allows an emulator to more
efficiently translate x86 code into power code, resulting in faster code
execution.
On Power 7 hardware, storing 0b1110 in the WIMG bits of the hpte enables
strong access ordering mode for the memory page. This patchset allows a
user to specify which pages are thus enabled by passing a new protection
bit through mmap() and mprotect(). I have defined PROT_SAO to be 0x10.
