Paul Mackerras a23414beb6 ppc/powerpc: workarounds for old Open Firmware versions
This adds code to work around some problems with old versions of
Open Firmware, such as on the early powermacs (7500 etc.) and the
"Longtrail" CHRP machine.  On these machines we have to claim
the physical and virtual address ranges explicitly when claiming
memory and then set up a V->P mapping.

The Longtrail has more problems: setprop doesn't work, and we have
to set an "allow-reclaim" variable to 0 in order to get claim on
physical memory ranges to fail if the memory is already claimed.

Paul Mackerras bbd0abda9c powerpc: Merge 32-bit CHRP support.
SMP still needs more work but UP gets as far as starting userspace
at least.  This uses the 64-bit-style code for spinning up the cpus.
