It's a bit yuck that we now end up with arch_* hooks being a mix of arch 
code and not-actually-arch-code, but I guess there's some hope of coming 
back and streamlining things in future once all the big moves are done.

I can't really be bothered to nitpick the typos above and the slight 
inconsistencies in some of the cosmetic code changes, but one worthwhile 
thing stands out...

Looks like phys_to_page() isn't particularly portable, so we probably 
want an explicit pfn_to_page(__phys_to_pfn(phys)) here. Otherwise, the 
fundamental refactoring looks OK.

[ In fact, looking at phys_to_page(), microblaze, riscv, unicore and 
csky (by the end of this series if it's fixed here) don't need to define 
it at all; s390 defines it for the sake of a single call in a single 
driver; it's used in two other places in arm-related drivers but at 
least one of those is clearly wrong. All in all it's quite the sorry mess. ]
