Provide hooks that allow architectures with aliasing cache to align
mapping address of high pages according to their color. Such architectures
may enforce similar coloring of low- and high-memory page mappings and
reuse existing cache management functions to support highmem.

Changes since the initial version:
- define set_pkmap_color(pg, cl) as do { } while (0) instead of /* */;
- rename is_no_more_pkmaps to no_more_pkmaps;
- change 'if (count > 0)' to 'if (count)' to better match the original
code behavior;

I would like to return back to "if (count >0)".

The reason is in easy way to jump through the same coloured pages - next element is calculated via decrementing by non "1" value of colours and it can easy become negative on last page available:

#define get_next_pkmap_counter(c,cl) (c - FIX_N_COLOURS)

where FIX_N_COLOURS is a max number of page colours.

Besides that it is a good practice in stopping cycle.
