0f2342c85d [POWERPC] pseries: Eliminate global error_log_cnt variable
Eliminate the use of error_log_cnt as a global var shared across
different directories.  Pass it as a parameter instead.

Respin of earlier patch, with the CONFIG_PSERIES junk removed from the
header file.

79c0108d1b [POWERPC] pseries: Fix jumbled no_logging flag
Get rid of the jumbled usage of the no_logging flag. Its use
spans several directories, and is incorrectly/misleadingly
documented. Instead, two changes:
1) nvram will accept error log as soon as its ready.
2) logging to nvram stops on the first fatal error reported.

5dfe4c964a [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 2
Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

5cbded585d [PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() calls
Run this:

	#!/bin/sh
	for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do
	  echo "De-casting $f..."
	  perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f
	done

And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers
to non-pointers.

And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

5a43ee6562 [PATCH] nvram_print_partitions cosmetic fixup
This is a cosmetic fixup.   When printing the nvram partition table, the
first couple entries have a shorter 'index' value than the others, so
table is a bit askew.   This change makes the table look pretty.
Tested on pseries and g5.   Footnote: yes, this table is normally hidden
behind a DEBUG_NVRAM #define.

e8222502ee [PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbers
This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism.  With this,
board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.

We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
_machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants.  This commit also
changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
_machine.

f9ce299fc6 [PATCH] powerpc: fix large nvram access
/dev/nvram uses the user-provided read/write size
for kmalloc, which fails, if a large number is passed.
This will always use a single page at most, which
can be expected to succeed.

437a58db57 powerpc: Move remaining .c files from arch/ppc64 to arch/powerpc
This also deletes the now-unused Makefiles under arch/ppc64.

Both of the files moved over could use some merging, but for now I
have moved them as-is and arranged for them to be used only in 64-bit
kernels.  For 32-bit kernels we still use arch/ppc/kernel/idle.c and
drivers/char/generic_nvram.c as before.
