Testing done by Paul Mackerras has shown that with a modern compiler
there is no negative effect on code generation from enabling
STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS.

So remove the option, and always use the strict type definitions.

Should we wait for Aneesh's patches before merging this in.

Preferably not.

I've already rebased his patches on top of this, it's trivial, it's just
removing code.

It also makes some things we might want to do as part of his series easier
(like adding a raw accessor to get the __be64 pmd/pte val).
