aee9f26542 [PATCH] powerpc: Fix spufs initialization sequence.
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.

f0831acc4b [PATCH] spufs: abstract priv1 register access.
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.

c902be71dc [PATCH] cell: enable pause(0) in cpu_idle
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.

67207b9664 [PATCH] spufs: The SPU file system, base
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.

19fe04755a [PATCH] powerpc: create a new arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/smp.c
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.
