e6bac75a8b ARM:Rename ARM_BIG_PAGE to ARM_SECTION.
The natural term to use when talking about MINIX big pages on ARM
is SECTION. A section is a level 1 page table entry pointing to
a 1MB area.

2aa82a9c7b ARM: kernel: fix sanity check for copying
. phys_copy() (taken from memcpy) can legitimately
	  cause pagefaults below the source/dest address due
	  to word-alignment

First round, some more optimizations are possible and should be
activated.

8ea66915f2 kernel: scheduling fix for ARM
. make read_tsc_64 use the free-running clock, significantly
	  improving scheduling behaviour

db8c1ee9d0 ARM: provide free running clock to replace ccnt
The Cycle CouNTer on ARM cannot be used reliably as it wraps around
rather quickly and can be altered by user space (on Minix). Furthermore,
it's buggy when wrapping and is not implemented at all on the Linaro
Beagleboard emulator.

This patch programs GPTIMER10 as a free running clock at 1.625 MHz (it
doesn't generate interrupts). It's memory mapped into every process,
which enables libsys to provide micro_delay().

b1c4ba4ab6 ARM updates
Due to the ABI we are using we have to use the earm architecture
moniker for the build system to behave correctly. This involves
then some headers to move around.

There is also a few related Makefile updates as well as minor
source code corrections.
