From: chenmiao <chenmiao.ku@gmail.com>

We need a text patching mechanism to ensure that in the subsequent
implementation of jump_label, the code can be modified to the correct
location. Therefore, FIX_TEXT_POKE0 has been added as a mapping area.

Among these changes, we implement patch_map and support the
patch_insn_write API for single instruction writing.

Changes in V3:
  - Removed the unimplemented and unsupported is_exit_text, added
    comments for the set_fixmap modification explaining why __init was
    removed, and added new comments for patch_insn_write.

Changes in V2:
  - We modify the patch_insn_write(void *addr, const void *insn) API to
    patch_insn_write(void *addr, u32 insn), derectly support a single u32
    instruction write to map memory.
  - Create a new file named insn-def.h to define the or1k insn macro
    size and more define in the future.

I think the description here could be improved a bit.

Something like:

Add text patching api's to use in subsequent jump_label implementation.  We use
a new fixmap FIX_TEXT_POKE0 entry to temporarily override MMU mappings to allow
read only text pages to be written to.

A new function patch_insn_write is exposed to allow single instruction patching.

The ifdef here and above a incosistent.  Can you try to use a consistent
convention to what is already used in openrisc?

Mostly we use: __ASM_OPENRISC_*_H

The commit style is a bit off.  In the kernel multi line comments usually start
with a lone '/*'. e.g.

/*

The comment about __init does not belong in the source here.  Perhaps your
comment could mention hwo the __set_fixmap function is used for both EARLYCON
and TEXT_POKE mappings.  Also, the comment style need to be updated.
