Subject: [PATCH v1 1/3] arm: mm: reordering memory type table

To use bit 5 in page table as L_PTE_SPECIAL, we need a room for that.
It seems we don't need 4 bits for the memory type with ARMv6+.
If it's true, let's reorder bits to make bit 5 free.

We will use the bit for L_PTE_SPECIAL in next patch.

A note from Catalin
"
> Anyway, on ARMv7 or ARMv6+LPAE, the non-shared device gets mapped to
> shared device in hardware. Looking through the arm32 code, it seems that
> MT_DEVICE_NONSHARED is used by arch/arm/mach-shmobile/setup-r8a7779.c
> and IIUC that's a v7 platform (R-Car H1, Cortex-A9). I think the above
> should be defined to L_PTE_MT_DEV_SHARED, unless I miss any place where
> DEV_NONSHARED is relevant on ARMv6 (adding Simon to confirm on shmbile).
