While it may be nice to have a copy of pages on swap once written there, the
more garbage we leave in the swapspace the slower any further writes and
reads to and from it are. Just free swapcache whenever we can.

Optimize ARM memset and memzero functions

The ARM memset and memzero functions are optimized with lower overhead
for small requests, generation of more 16-bit Thumb2 instructions when
compiled in Thumb2 mode, and configurable destination alignment before
the main block-copying loop.

The new compile-time constant MEMSET_WRITE_ALIGN_BYTES is introduced
in assembler.h, to augment the CALGN macro that previously regulated
32-byte write alignment but was only used on the Feroceon platform.
MEMSET_WRITE_ALIGN_BYTES can have values of 0 (no write alignment),
8, or 32. Apart from Feroceon, memset write alignment of 32 bytes
appears to benefit the armv6 platform, while the armv7 platform
seems benefit from alignment to 8 bytes for memset/memzero.

The CALGN macro is renamed to MEMSET_CALGN for memset and memzero; the
original CALGN macro is reserved for the memcpy family of functions
(memcpy, copy_from_user, copy_to_user) currently implemented in
copy_template.S, and the associated compile time constant
WRITE_ALIGN_BYTES defines the write alignment for memcpy-related
functions that will be utilized in subsequent contributions. Because
the current CALGN implementation in copy_template.S only implements
32-byte write alignment and is broken on Thumb2, it is only enabled
when WRITE_ALIGN_BYTES is equal to 32 and Thumb2 mode is not enabled.

Finally, memset and memzero now include a directive to enable unified
ARM assembler syntax.

Rename ARM assembler push/pull macros

The ARM assembler library functions use a macro called "push" that
along with a macro called "pull" is used to shift bytes around in a
word in an endian-independent way. However, the modern unified
ARM assembler syntax also defines the instruction "push" to push
data onto the stack, which has specific encodings in the Thumb2
instruction set. For prevent possible conflicts going forward, and
to allow the use of the more transparent "push" instruction along
with the modern unified assembler syntax, this patch renames all
occurrences of the "push" macro to "pushbits", as well as renaming
the macro argument, when also called "push", to "pushshift".

For consistency, the macro called "pull" with its argument name
"pull" are also renamed to "pullbits" and "pullshift", respectively.

Optimize copy_page for modern ARM platforms

The existing implementation of copy_page for ARM appears to be
optimized for older platforms. Benchmark testing in a sandbox
environment shows suboptimal performance on modern platforms
like armv6 and armv7, with speed-ups ranging from 10% (Cortex A8)
to 80% (armv6 used in Raspberry Pi) being achievable.

This commit optimizes copy_page and introduces the new compile-time
constant PREFETCH_DISTANCE, defined in cache.h, which when
multiplied by L1_CACHE_BYTES is equal to the offset used for
prefetches performed with the PLD instruction. For platforms where
L1_CACHE_BYTES is 32 (armv5 and armv6), copy_page processes 32 bytes
at a time while doing one prefetch per iteration, while for armv7
(with L1_CACHE_BYTES equal to 64), 64 bytes are processed at at time
with one prefetch per iteration. When no preload instruction is
available (platforms earlier than armv5), no preload instructions
are generated and 32 bytes are processed at at time.

To facilitate specifying instructions for architectures with no
preload instruction, the NO_PLD macro is added to assembler.h,
augmenting the PLD macro.

lib/lzo: Rename lzo1x_decompress.c to lzo1x_decompress_safe.c

Rename the source file to match the function name and thereby
also make room for a possible future even slightly faster
"non-safe" decompressor version.

lib/lzo: Update LZO compression to current upstream version

This commit updates the kernel LZO code to the current upsteam version
which features a significant speed improvement - benchmarking the Calgary
and Silesia test corpora typically shows a doubled performance in
both compression and decompression on modern i386/x86_64/powerpc machines.
