+MMUv3 initialization sequence.
+
+The code in the initialize_mmu macro sets up MMUv3 memory mapping
+identically to MMUv2 fixed memory mapping. Depending on
+CONFIG_INITIALIZE_XTENSA_MMU_INSIDE_VMLINUX symbol this code is
+located in one of the following address ranges:
+
+    0xF0000000..0xFFFFFFFF (will keep same address in MMU v2 layout;
+    			 typically ROM)
+    0x00000000..0x07FFFFFF (system RAM; this code is actually linked
+    			 at 0xD0000000..0xD7FFFFFF [cached]
+    			 or 0xD8000000..0xDFFFFFFF [uncached];
+    			 in any case, initially runs elsewhere
+    			 than linked, so have to be careful)
+
+The code has the following assumptions:
+  This code fragment is run only on an MMU v3.
+  TLBs are in their reset state.
+  ITLBCFG and DTLBCFG are zero (reset state).
+  RASID is 0x04030201 (reset state).
+  PS.RING is zero (reset state).
+  LITBASE is zero (reset state, PC-relative literals); required to be PIC.
+
+TLB setup proceeds along the following steps.
+
+  Legend:
+    VA = virtual address (two upper nibbles of it);
+    PA = physical address (two upper nibbles of it);
+    pc = physical range that contains this code;
+
+After step 2, we jump to virtual address in 0x40000000..0x5fffffff
+that corresponds to next instruction to execute in this code.
+After step 4, we jump to intended (linked) address of this code.
