Subject: [PATCH] FRV: Fix kernel/user segment handling in NOMMU mode

In NOMMU mode, the FRV segment handling is broken because KERNEL_DS == USER_DS.
This causes tests of the following sort:

	/* don't pin down non-user-based iovecs */
	if (segment_eq(get_fs(), KERNEL_DS))
		return NULL;

to malfunction.

To fix this, make USER_DS the top of RAM instead of the top of the non-IO
address space, and make KERNEL_DS one more than the top of the non-IO address
space.

Also get rid of FRV's __addr_ok() as nothing uses it.
