Currently ppc64 has two mm_structs for the kernel, init_mm and also
ioremap_mm.  The latter really isn't necessary: this patch abolishes it,
instead restricting vmallocs to the lower 1TB of the init_mm's range and
placing io mappings in the upper 1TB.  This simplifies the code in a number
of places and eliminates an unecessary set of pagetables.  It also tweaks
the unmap/free path a little, allowing us to remove the unmap_im_area() set
of page table walkers, replacing them with unmap_vm_area().
