This is a first version of support for the Cell BE "Reliability,
Availability and Serviceability" features.
It doesn't yet handle some of the RAS interrupts (the ones described in
iic_is/iic_irr), I'm still working on a proper way to expose these. They
are essentially a cascaded controller by themselves (sic !) though I may
just handle them locally to the iic driver. I need also to sync with
David Erb on the way he hooked in the performance monitor interrupt.
So that's all for 2.6.17 and I'll do more work on that with my rework of
the powerpc interrupt layer that I'm hacking on at the moment.

An SPU does not have a way to implement system calls
itself, but it can create intercepts to the kernel.
This patch uses the method defined by the JSRE interface
for C99 host library calls from an SPU to implement
Linux system calls. It uses the reserved SPU stop code
0x2104 for this, using the structure layout and syscall
numbers for ppc64-linux.
I'm still undecided wether it is better to have a list
of allowed syscalls or a list of forbidden syscalls,
since we can't allow an SPU to call all syscalls that
are defined for ppc64-linux.
This patch implements the easier choice of them, with a
blacklist that only prevents an SPU from calling anything
that interacts with its own execution, e.g fork, execve,
clone, vfork, exit, spu_run and spu_create and everything
that deals with signals.

This is a small fix to get the spufs init sequence right.
init_spu_base() in spu_base.c should be called (via
module_init(init_spu_base)) before spufs_init() (via
module_init(spufs_init)) in spufs/inode.c gets called.

In a hypervisor based setup, direct access to the first
priviledged register space can typically not be allowed
to the kernel and has to be implemented through hypervisor
calls.
As suggested by Masato Noguchi, let's abstract the register
access trough a number of function calls. Since there is
currently no public specification of actual hypervisor
calls to implement this, I only provide a place that
makes it easier to hook into.

This patch enables support for pause(0) power management state
for the Cell Broadband Processor, which is import for power efficient
operation. The pervasive infrastructure will in the future enable
us to introduce more functionality specific to the Cell's
pervasive unit.

This is the current version of the spu file system, used
for driving SPEs on the Cell Broadband Engine.
This release is almost identical to the version for the
2.6.14 kernel posted earlier, which is available as part
of the Cell BE Linux distribution from
http://www.bsc.es/projects/deepcomputing/linuxoncell/.
The first patch provides all the interfaces for running
spu application, but does not have any support for
debugging SPU tasks or for scheduling. Both these
functionalities are added in the subsequent patches.
See Documentation/filesystems/spufs.txt on how to use
spufs.

During the conversion to the merge tree, the Cell specific
SMP initialization was removed from the pSeries code.
This creates a new Cell specific SMP implementation file.
