The error checking for emulation of load string instructions was overly
generous and would cause certain valid forms of the instructions to be
treated as illegal. We drop the range checking since the architecture
allows this to be boundedly undefined. Tests on CPUs that support these
instructions appear not do cause illegal instruction traps on range errors
and just allow the execution to occur.
Thanks to Kim Phillips for debugging this and figuring out what real HW was
doing.

Some debug registers needed to be initialized early on to allow proper
support for KGDB. Additionally, we need to setup the
ppc.md_early_serial_map function pointer on boards that have serial support

This patch fixed CONFIG_TASK_SIZE handling on 44x. Currently head_44x.S
hardcodes 0x80000000, which breaks if user chooses to change TASK_SIZE
(e.g. for 3G user-space). Tested on Ocotea in 3G/1G configuration.

We can identify new Freescale PPC cores by the fact that the MSB of the PVR
is set. If we are a new Freescale core the decode of major/minor revision
numbers is simplified so we dont have to add new case checks for a every

The PPC32 kernel puts platform-specific functions into separate sections so
that unneeded parts of it can be freed when we've booted and actually
worked out what we're running on today.
This makes kallsyms ignore those functions, because they're not between
_[se]text or _[se]inittext. Rather than teaching kallsyms about the
various pmac/chrp/etc sections, this patch adds '_[se]extratext' markers
for kallsyms.

Some G3 CPUs can crash in funny way if a store from an FPU register
instruction is executed on a register that has never been initialized since
power on. This patch fixes it by making sure all FP registers have been
properly initialized at kernel boot and when waking from sleep. It also makes
the code that decides wether HID0_BTIC and HID0_DPM are allowed on a given CPU
smarter (it can actually _clear_ them now if they are not allowed instead of
just setting them when they are allowed in case the firmware got them wrong)

The following problem was found by Giovambattista Pulcini
<gpulcini@swintel.it>, who also provided a partial patch, and this has been
verified by our time guru Gabriel Paubert <paubert@iram.es>.
The problem is that in do_settimeofday() we always set time_state to
TIME_ERROR and except on two platforms, never re-set it. This meant that
ntp_gettime() and ntp_adjtime() always returned TIME_ERROR, incorrectly.
Based on Gabriel's analysis, time_state is used for leap-second processing,
and ppc shouldn't be mucking with it.

To add support for 36-bit physical addressing on e500 the following changes
have been made. The changes are generalized to support any physical address
size larger than 32-bits:
* Allow FSL Book-E parts to use a 64-bit PTE, it is 44-bits of pfn, 20-bits
of flags.
* Introduced new CPU feature (CPU_FTR_BIG_PHYS) to allow runtime handling of
updating hardware register (SPRN_MAS7) which holds the upper 32-bits of
physical address that will be written into the TLB. This is useful since
not all e500 cores support 36-bit physical addressing.
* Currently have a pass through implementation of fixup_bigphys_addr
* Moved _PAGE_DIRTY in the 64-bit PTE case to free room for three additional
storage attributes that may exist in future FSL Book-E cores and updated
fault handler to copy these bits into the hardware TLBs.

On ppc, we emulate instructions that cause alignment exceptions. If we are
single-stepping an instruction and it causes an alignment exception, we
will currently do the next instruction as well before taking the
single-step exception. This patch fixes that, so we take the single-step
exception after emulating the instruction.

If we should happen to get an altivec assist exception while executing in
the kernel, we will currently try to handle it and fail, and end up oopsing
with (apparently) a segfault. (An altivec assist exception occurs for
floating-point altivec instructions with denormalized inputs or outputs if
the altivec unit is in java mode.)
This patch checks explicitly if we are in user mode and prints a useful
message if not.

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!
