Connect iSeries up to the standard early debugging infrastructure.
To actually use this you need to enable the iSeries early debugging
in setup_64.c. Then after the messages are logged hit Ctrl-x Ctrl-x on
your console to dump the Hypervisor console buffer.

On iSeries, the paca contains, amongst other things an ItLpRegSave
structure used by the hypervisor to save registers. The hypervisor
locates this area through a pointer at the beginning of the paca, so
the structure itself can be located elsewhere. This patch moves the
reg_save area out into its own array. This reduces the amount of
iSeries specific gunk which is visible to general powerpc code via
paca.h
Built and booted on POWER5 LPAR and iSeries RS64.

I discovered that in some cases (PowerMac for example) we wouldn't
properly map the PCI IO space on recent kernels. In addition, the code
for initializing PCI host bridges was scattered all over the place with
some duplication between platforms.
This patch fixes the problem and does a small cleanup by creating a
pcibios_alloc_controller() in pci_64.c that is similar to the one in
pci_32.c (just takes an additional device node argument) that takes care
of all the grunt allocation and initialisation work. It should work for
both boot time and dynamically allocated PHBs.

This patch merges platform codes. systemcfg->platform is no longer used,
systemcfg use in general is deprecated as much as possible (and renamed
_systemcfg before it gets completely moved elsewhere in a future patch),
_machine is now used on ppc64 along as ppc32. Platform codes aren't gone
yet but we are getting a step closer. A bunch of asm code in head[_64].S
is also turned into C code.

This patch consolidates macros used to generate assembly for
compatibility across different CPUs or configs. A new header,
asm-powerpc/asm-compat.h contains the main compatibility macros. It
uses some preprocessor magic to make the macros suitable both for use
in .S files, and in inline asm in .c files. Headers (bitops.h,
uaccess.h, atomic.h, bug.h) which had their own such compatibility
macros are changed to use asm-compat.h.
ppc_asm.h is now for use in .S files *only*, and a #error enforces
that. As such, we're a lot more careless about namespace pollution
here than in asm-compat.h.
While we're at it, this patch adds a call to the PPC405_ERR77 macro in
futex.h which should have had it already, but didn't.
Built and booted on pSeries, Maple and iSeries (ARCH=powerpc). Built
for 32-bit powermac (ARCH=powerpc) and Walnut (ARCH=ppc).

Make some changes to the NEED_RESCHED and POLLING_NRFLAG to reduce
confusion, and make their semantics rigid. Improves efficiency of
resched_task and some cpu_idle routines.
* In resched_task:
- TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the task's runqueue lock held,
and as we hold it during resched_task, then there is no need for an
atomic test and set there. The only other time this should be set is
when the task's quantum expires, in the timer interrupt - this is
protected against because the rq lock is irq-safe.
- If TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, then we don't need to do anything. It
won't get unset until the task get's schedule()d off.
- If we are running on the same CPU as the task we resched, then set
TIF_NEED_RESCHED and no further action is required.
- If we are running on another CPU, and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is *not* set
after TIF_NEED_RESCHED has been set, then we need to send an IPI.
Using these rules, we are able to remove the test and set operation in
resched_task, and make clear the previously vague semantics of
POLLING_NRFLAG.
* In idle routines:
- Enter cpu_idle with preempt disabled. When the need_resched() condition
becomes true, explicitly call schedule(). This makes things a bit clearer
(IMO), but haven't updated all architectures yet.
- Many do a test and clear of TIF_NEED_RESCHED for some reason. According
to the resched_task rules, this isn't needed (and actually breaks the
assumption that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the runqueue lock
held). So remove that. Generally one less locked memory op when switching
to the idle thread.
- Many idle routines clear TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG, and only set it in the inner
most polling idle loops. The above resched_task semantics allow it to be
set until before the last time need_resched() is checked before going into
a halt requiring interrupt wakeup.
Many idle routines simply never enter such a halt, and so POLLING_NRFLAG
can be always left set, completely eliminating resched IPIs when rescheduling
the idle task.
POLLING_NRFLAG width can be increased, to reduce the chance of resched IPIs.

Run idle threads with preempt disabled.
Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()).
How did it ever work before?
Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted.
We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking
need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined.
After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and
into the idle thread and goes to sleep. The CPU will continue executing
previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead.
By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is
fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.

The ancient ppcdebug/PPCDBG mechanism is now only used in two places.
First, in the hash setup code, one of the bits allows the size of the
hash table to be reduced by a factor of 8 - which would be better
accomplished with a command line option for that purpose. The other
was a bunch of bus walking related messages in the iSeries code, which
would seem to be insufficient reason to keep the mechanism.
This patch removes the last traces of this mechanism.

Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel
base page size to 64K. The resulting kernel still boots on any
hardware. On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel
will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently.
Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch
will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm
still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the
information from the newer hypervisors.

These days, the NACA only exists on iSeries. Therefore, this patch
moves naca.h from include/asm-ppc64 to arch/powerpc/platforms/iseries.
There was one file including naca.h outside of platforms/iseries -
arch/ppc64/kernel/udbg_scc.c. However, that's obviously a hangover
from older days. The include is not necessary, so this patch simply
removes it.

We had a static memory_limit in prom.c, and then another one defined
in setup_64.c and used in numa.c, which resulted in the kernel crashing
when mem=xxx was given on the command line. This puts the declaration
in system.h and the definition in mem.c. This also moves the
definition of tce_alloc_start/end out of setup_64.c.

A few things change for consistency between ppc32 and ppc64:
idle functions return void; *_get_boot_time functions return
unsigned long (i.e. time_t) rather than filling in a struct rtc_time
(since that's useful to the callers and easier for pmac to
generate); *_get_rtc_time and *_set_rtc_time functions take
a struct rtc_time; irq_canonicalize is gone; nvram_sync returns
void.
