Benjamin Herrenschmidt e8222502ee [PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbers
This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism.  With this,
board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.

We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
_machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants.  This commit also
changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
_machine.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt d7f3945420 [PATCH] powerpc: Add back support for booting from BootX (#2)
ARCH=powerpc couldn't boot from BootX as it uses a "different" way of
getting in the kernel. This patch adds the necessary trampolines,
creating a flattened device-tree from the tree passed from MacOS, and
initializing the btext engine early for really-early debugging.
