openrisc: fix arbitrary kernel memory access via or1k_atomic syscallgrafted

sys_or1k_atomic() (syscall 244 in the "or1k" ABI) takes two user
pointers, v1 and v2, and swaps the words they point to in hand-written
assembly.

    l.lwz   r29,0(r4)
    l.lwz   r27,0(r5)
    l.sw    0(r4),r27
    l.sw    0(r5),r29

The pointers are not checked with access_ok(). The four memory
accesses also have no exception table entries.

A caller passes a kernel address as either pointer, and the syscall
reads from and writes to it directly.

This gives an unprivileged process a kernel read/write primitive. It
overwrites kernel data such as the sys_call_table, gaining code
execution in kernel context.

Check both pointers before entering the critical section. Add fixups
for the four memory accesses so faults on valid but unmapped user
addresses return -EFAULT.

+Broadcom introduced new bus as replacement for older SSB. It is based on AMBA,
+however from programming point of view there is nothing AMBA specific we use.
+
+Standard AMBA drivers are platform specific, have hardcoded addresses and use
+AMBA standard fields like CID and PID.
+
+In case of Broadcom's cards every device consists of:
+1) Broadcom specific AMBA device. It is put on AMBA bus, but can not be treated
+   as standard AMBA device. Reading it's CID or PID can cause machine lockup.
+2) AMBA standard devices called ports or wrappers. They have CIDs (AMBA_CID)
+   and PIDs (0x103BB369), but we do not use that info for anything. One of that
+   devices is used for managing Broadcom specific core.
+
+Addresses of AMBA devices are not hardcoded in driver and have to be read from
+EPROM.
+
+In this situation we decided to introduce separated bus. It can contain up to
+16 devices identified by Broadcom specific fields: manufacturer, id, revision
+and class.
