Subject: [PATCH 1/1] MIPS: topdown mmap support

This patch introduced topdown mmap support in user process address
space allocation policy.

Recently, we ran some large applications that use mmap heavily and
lead to OOM due to inflexible mmap allocation policy on MIPS32.

Since most other major archs supported it for years, it is reasonable
to follow the trend and reduce the pain of porting applications.

Due to cache aliasing concern, arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() and
other helper functions are implemented in arch/mips/kernel/syscall.c.

That is not a good comment.  We know you are adding it by all the '+' 
characters in the patch.

All this code you are duplicating from arch_get_unmapped_area(), but you 
introduce subtle bugs by removing some needed checks.

Why duplicate the code?

Why remove the checks?
