[Blackfin] arch: This allows XIP to work with FD-PIC.
Previously, init failed to do anything meaningful; it turns out that the reason is that FD-PIC has a readonly data section which can be located in the XIP filesystem, and various address checks in the kernel reject such addresses for syscall arguments. Hence, init's execve ("/bin/sh", ...) failed with error code EFAULT. There's room for improvement here: in case people want to have filesystems on flash rather than in main memory, _access_ok should be modified to allow this. This bug fix is also dedicated to Michael Hennerich. Signed-off-by: Bernd Schmidt <bernds_cb1@t-online.de> Signed-off-by: Bryan Wu <cooloney@kernel.org>
