This adds code which gives us the option on ppc64 of instantiating the
PCI tree (the tree of pci_bus and pci_dev structs) from the Open
Firmware device tree rather than by probing PCI configuration space.
The OF device tree has a node for each PCI device and bridge in the
system, with properties that tell us what addresses the firmware has
configured for them and other details.
There are a couple of reasons why this is needed. First, on systems
with a hypervisor, there is a PCI-PCI bridge per slot under the PCI
host bridges. These PCI-PCI bridges have special isolation features
for virtualization. We can't write to their config space, and we are
not supposed to be reading their config space either. The firmware
tells us about the address ranges that they pass in the OF device
tree.
Secondly, on powermacs, the interrupt controller is in a PCI device
that may be behind a PCI-PCI bridge. If we happened to take an
interrupt just at the point when the device or a bridge on the path to
it was disabled for probing, we would crash when we try to access the
interrupt controller.
I have implemented a platform-specific function which is called for
each PCI bridge (host or PCI-PCI) to say whether the code should look
in the device tree or use normal PCI probing for the devices under
that bridge. On pSeries machines we use the device tree if we're
running under a hypervisor, otherwise we use normal probing. On
powermacs we use normal probing for the AGP bridge, since the device
for the AGP bridge itself isn't shown in the device tree (at least on
my G5), and the device tree for everything else.
This has been tested on a dual G5 powermac, a partition on a POWER5
machine (running under the hypervisor), and a legacy iSeries
partition.

This patch pulls the PCI-related junk out of struct device_node and
puts it in a separate structure, struct pci_dn. The device_node now
just has a void * pointer in it, which points to a struct pci_dn for
nodes that represent PCI devices. It could potentially be used in
future for device-specific data for other sorts of devices, such as
virtual I/O devices.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
