Newer GCC's are capable of autovectorization for ISA extensions like
AltiVec and SPE. If we happen to build with one of those compilers we
will get SPE instructions in random kernel code. Today we only allow
basic interger code in the kernel and FP, AltiVec, or SPE in special
explicit locations that have handled the proper saving and restoring of
the register state (since on uniprocessor we lazy context switch the
register state for FP, AltiVec, and SPE).
-mno-spe disables the compiler for automatically generating SPE
instructions without our knowledge.

The trick for finding the right defconfig is neat, but you forgot to
provide an i686_defconfig. ;-)
More seriously, cross compiling the defconfig is often useful, e.g. for
testing the compilation of patches that touch multiple architectures,
and this patch therefore chooses g5_defconfig if $(CROSS_COMPILE) is
non-empty.

Add 'zImage.dts' and 'zImage.dts_initrd' build rules that automatically
compile and wrap a dts file from arch/powerpc/boot/dts into the zImage file.
The resulting zImage will be arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.dts.<platform> and
arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.dts_initrd.<platform>, respectively.
Having separate rules allows the user to choose whether to include a device
tree--and which device tree--at build time. This is useful when one Makefile
target builds a zImage that runs on several platforms except for differing
device trees. By just setting CONFIG_DEVICE_TREE and running "make zImage.dts"
the exact zImage you want is built without Makefile bloat or manually running
the wrapper script.
The dts file is expected to be arch/powerpc/boot/dts/$(CONFIG_DEVICE_TREE)

- It removes the double layered selection of images, via
cuboot-plat-y, instead having the cuboot platforms directly select a
suitable image-y (this changes the name of the final cuboot image from
plain cuImage to cuImage.<platform>).
- Factors out some code in the wrapper that's potentially

This puts the knowledge of how to create various sorts of zImage
wrappers into a script called "wrapper" that could be used outside of
the kernel tree. This changes arch/powerpc/boot so it first builds
the files that the wrapper script needs, then runs it to create
whatever flavours of zImage are required.
This version does uImages as well. The zImage names are changed
slightly; zImage.pseries is the one with the PT_NOTE program header
entry added, and zImage.pmac is the one without. If the
zImage.pseries gets made, it will also get hardlinked to zImage;
otherwise, if zImage.pmac is made, it gets hardlinked to zImage.

There were two files still referenced in the merge section of
arch/ppc/kernel/Makefile: ppc-stub.o, depending on CONFIG_KGDB,
and dma-mapping.o, depending on CONFIG_NOT_COHERENT_CACHE. None
of the platforms currently in ARCH=powerpc have caches that
aren't coherent with DMA, but when we do get one we'll move
dma-mapping.c over. As for CONFIG_KGDB, none of the Kconfig
files in the tree define it, so I'll let it languish for now.

Trivial conflict in arch/ppc/boot/Makefile manually fixed up
The kbuild system takes advantage of an incorrect behavior in GNU make.
Once this behavior is fixed, all files in the kernel rebuild every time,
even if nothing has changed. This patch ensures kbuild works with both
the incorrect and correct behaviors of GNU make.
For more details on the incorrect behavior, see:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2006-03/msg00003.html
Changes in this patch:
- Keep all targets that are to be marked .PHONY in a variable, PHONY.
- Add .PHONY: $(PHONY) to mark them properly.
- Remove any $(PHONY) files from the $? list when determining whether
targets are up-to-date or not.

The merged version follows the ppc64 version pretty closely mostly,
and in fact ARCH=ppc64 now uses the arch/powerpc/xmon version.
The main difference for ppc64 is that the 'p' command to call
