2016-09-20	arm64: migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h	Paul Gortmaker
	These files were only including module.h for exception table related functions. We've now separated that content out into its own file "extable.h" so now move over to that and avoid all the extra header content in module.h that we don't really need to compile these files.

2016-02-24	arm64: switch to relative exception tables	Ard Biesheuvel
	Instead of using absolute addresses for both the exception location and the fixup, use offsets relative to the exception table entry values. Not only does this cut the size of the exception table in half, it is also a prerequisite for KASLR, since absolute exception table entries are subject to dynamic relocation, which is incompatible with the sorting of the exception table that occurs at build time. This patch also introduces the _ASM_EXTABLE preprocessor macro (which exists on x86 as well) and its _asm_extable assembly counterpart, as shorthands to emit exception table entries.

2012-09-17	arm64: MMU fault handling and page table management	Catalin Marinas
	This patch adds support for the handling of the MMU faults (exception entry code introduced by a previous patch) and page table management. The user translation table is pointed to by TTBR0 and the kernel one (swapper_pg_dir) by TTBR1. There is no translation information shared or address space overlapping between user and kernel page tables.
