The patch adds fragments caused by rh_alloc_align() back to free list, instead
of allocating the whole chunk of memory. This will greatly improve memory
utilization managed by rheap.
It solves MURAM not enough problem with 3 UCCs enabled on MPC8323.

When an rheap is created, the caller can specify the alignment to use. In
rh_alloc_align(), if a free block is found that is the exact size needed
(including extra space for alignment), that configured alignment value is not
used to align the pointer. Instead, the default alignment is used. If the
default alignment is smaller than the configured alignment, then the returned
value will not be aligned correctly.

The rheap allocation functions return a pointer, but the actual value is based
on how the heap was initialized, and so it can be anything, e.g. an offset
into a buffer. A ulong is a better representation of the value returned by
the allocation functions.
This patch changes all of the relevant rheap functions to use a unsigned long
integers instead of a pointer. In case of an error, the value returned is
a negative error code that has been cast to an unsigned long. The caller can
use the IS_ERR_VALUE() macro to check for this.
All code which calls the rheap functions is updated accordingly. Macros
IS_MURAM_ERR() and IS_DPERR(), have been deleted in favor of IS_ERR_VALUE().
Also added error checking to rh_attach_region().

The grow() function in the rheap library allocates a larger array of blocks,
copies the contents of the old blocks array to the newly allocated array and
fixes the list_head pointers after the copy. At the end, the new blocks must
be enqueued to the empty_list of the rh_info_t structure. This patch fixes
a bug where the code was indexing past the end of the array when enqueueing
blocks. The UCC ethernet driver, which uses the rheap allocator, experiences
kernel panics because of this bug.

This patch removes all self references and fixes references to files
in the now defunct arch/ppc64 tree. I think this accomplises
everything wanted, though there might be a few references I missed.

This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch
of Kconfig files. It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm,
arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac. This is enough
to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc.
For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and
arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel. This makes some minor changes
to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc.
The boot directory is still not merged. That's going to be interesting.
