[PATCH v4 1/2] mm: Introducing arch_remap hook

[Laurent Dufour]

Some architecture would like to be triggered when a memory area is moved
through the mremap system call.

This patch is introducing a new arch_remap mm hook which is placed in the
path of mremap, and is called before the old area is unmapped (and the
arch_unmap hook is called).

The architectures which need to call this hook should define
__HAVE_ARCH_REMAP in their asm/mmu_context.h and provide the arch_remap
service with the following prototype:
void arch_remap(struct mm_struct *mm,
                unsigned long old_start, unsigned long old_end,
                unsigned long new_start, unsigned long new_end);
