cc53291521 [PATCH] powerpc: Add arch dependent basic infrastructure for Kdump.
Implementing the machine_crash_shutdown which will be called by
crash_kexec (called in case of a panic, sysrq etc.). Disable the
interrupts, shootdown cpus using debugger IPI and collect regs
for all CPUs.

elfcorehdr= specifies the location of elf core header stored by
the crashed kernel. This command line option will be passed by
the kexec-tools to capture kernel.

savemaxmem= specifies the actual memory size that the first kernel
has and this value will be used for dumping in the capture kernel.
This command line option will be passed by the kexec-tools to
capture kernel.

8b3d6663c6 [PATCH] spufs: cooperative scheduler support
This adds a scheduler for SPUs to make it possible to use
more logical SPUs than physical ones are present in the
system.

Currently, there is no support for preempting a running
SPU thread, they have to leave the SPU by either triggering
an event on the SPU that causes it to return to the
owning thread or by sending a signal to it.

This patch also adds operations that enable accessing an SPU
in either runnable or saved state. We use an RW semaphore
to protect the state of the SPU from changing underneath
us, while we are holding it readable. In order to change
the state, it is acquired writeable and a context save
or restore is executed before downgrading the semaphore
to read-only.

3d1229d6ae [PATCH] powerpc: Merge kexec
This patch merges, to some extent, the PPC32 and PPC64 kexec implementations.

We adopt the PPC32 approach of having ppc_md callbacks for the kexec functions.
The current PPC64 implementation becomes the "default" implementation for PPC64
which platforms can select if they need no special treatment.

I've added these default callbacks to pseries/maple/cell/powermac, this means
iSeries no longer supports kexec - but it never worked anyway.

I've renamed PPC32's machine_kexec_simple to default_machine_kexec, inline with
PPC64. Judging by the comments it might be better named machine_kexec_non_of,
or something, but at the moment it's the only implementation for PPC32 so it's
the "default".

Kexec requires machine_shutdown(), which is in machine_kexec.c on PPC32, but we
already have in setup-common.c on powerpc. All this does is call
ppc_md.nvram_sync, which only powermac implements, so instead make
machine_shutdown a ppc_md member and have it call core99_nvram_sync directly
on powermac.

I've also stuck relocate_kernel.S into misc_32.S for powerpc.

Built for ARCH=ppc, and 32 & 64 bit ARCH=powerpc, with KEXEC=y/n. Booted on
P5 LPAR and successfully kexec'ed.

Should apply on top of 493f25ef40.

any changes to them.
