This patch enables support for pause(0) power management state
for the Cell Broadband Processor, which is import for power efficient
operation. The pervasive infrastructure will in the future enable
us to introduce more functionality specific to the Cell's
pervasive unit.

include/asm-ppc/ had #ifdef __KERNEL__ in all header files that
are not meant for use by user space, include/asm-powerpc does
not have this yet.
This patch gets us a lot closer there. There are a few cases
where I was not sure, so I left them out. I have verified
that no CONFIG_* symbols are used outside of __KERNEL__
any more and that there are no obvious compile errors when
including any of the headers in user space libraries.

Milton and I were looking at the cputable code and it looks like we can
set spurious bits on 64bit.

This patch merges align.c, the result isn't quite what was in ppc64 nor
what was in ppc32 :) It should implement all the functionalities of both
though. Kumar, since you played with that in the past, I suppose you
have some test cases for verifying that it works properly before I dig
out the 601 machine ? :)
Since it's likely that I won't be able to test all scenario, code
inspection is much welcome.

This is at the request of the glibc folks, who want to use these bits
to select libraries optimized for the microarchitecture and new
instructions in these processors.

This patch consolidates macros used to generate assembly for
compatibility across different CPUs or configs. A new header,
asm-powerpc/asm-compat.h contains the main compatibility macros. It
uses some preprocessor magic to make the macros suitable both for use
in .S files, and in inline asm in .c files. Headers (bitops.h,
uaccess.h, atomic.h, bug.h) which had their own such compatibility
macros are changed to use asm-compat.h.
ppc_asm.h is now for use in .S files *only*, and a #error enforces
that. As such, we're a lot more careless about namespace pollution
here than in asm-compat.h.
While we're at it, this patch adds a call to the PPC405_ERR77 macro in
futex.h which should have had it already, but didn't.
Built and booted on pSeries, Maple and iSeries (ARCH=powerpc). Built
for 32-bit powermac (ARCH=powerpc) and Walnut (ARCH=ppc).

Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel
base page size to 64K. The resulting kernel still boots on any
hardware. On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel
will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently.
Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch
will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm
still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the
information from the newer hypervisors.

This brings in the ppc64 version of prom_init.c, prom.c and btext.c
and makes them work for ppc32. This also brings in the new calling
convention, where the first entry to the kernel (with r5 != 0) goes
to the prom_init code, which then restarts from the beginning (with
r5 == 0) after it has done its stuff.
For now this also brings in the ppc32 version of setup.c. It also
merges lmb.h.

Changed ppc32 so that cur_cpu_spec is just a single pointer for all CPUs.
Additionally, made call_setup_cpu check to see if the cpu_setup pointer
is NULL or not before calling the function. This lets remove the dummy
cpu_setup calls that just return.

Merged cputable.h between ppc32 and ppc64. In doing this removed support
for the BEGIN_FTR_SECTION/END_FTR_SECTION macros in C code since they
dont compile correctly. C code should use cpu_has_feature(). This is
based on Arnd Bergmann's initial patch.
