Why This File Exists
CPU and platform-specific kernel glue: boot entry, traps, syscall entry, interrupts, page tables, context switch, and low-level barriers.

- Exports symbols or registers init work; inspect boot/module ordering and who consumes the exported contract.

/**
* __arch_clear_user: - Zero a block of memory in user space, with less checking.
* @to: Destination address, in user space.
* @n: Number of bytes to zero.
*
* Zero a block of memory in user space. Caller must check
* the specified block with access_ok() before calling this function.
*
* Returns number of bytes that could not be cleared.
* On success, this will be zero.

Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `linux/export.h`, `asm/ppc_asm.h`, `asm/linkage.h`, `asm/asm-offsets.h`.
- Detected declarations: `export __arch_clear_user`.
- Atlas domain: Architecture Layer / arch/powerpc.
- Implementation status: integration implementation candidate.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
