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.

Paul Mackerras c51e3a417b powerpc: Fix vmlinux.lds.S for 32-bit
We can't currently use asm-ppc/page.h in vmlinux.lds.S, so until
we have a merged page.h, define PAGE_SIZE and KERNELBASE locally.
Also gets rid of some dynamic executable cruft that we had for
32-bit.  With -Ttext=$(KERNELBASE) this didn't cause any problem,
but when we changed to putting . = KERNELBASE in the vmlinux.lds.S
this cruft caused the text to get linked at 0xa0 instead of
0xc0000000.  Oops.

Michael Ellerman e19e4ab415 powerpc: Set entry point and text address in linker script
Currently we set the kernel entry point and the address of the text
section in the Makefile, using CONFIG_KERNEL_START.

But we've already got <asm/page.h> in the linker script, so we can just
use KERNELBASE directly. That means if we ever change KERNELBASE there's
one less place to change it.

And we can set the entry point with ENTRY().

There are zero differences from "readelf -a vmlinux" with or without this
patch.

Stephen Rothwell cabb558714 powerpc: make iSeries build
Merge vmlinux.lds.S.
Also remove arch/powerpc/kernel/vmlinux.lds which is a
generated file.

Paul Mackerras 14cf11af6c powerpc: Merge enough to start building in arch/powerpc.
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.
