This patch adds code, linker script and makefile support to allow
building the zImage wrapper around the kernel as a position independent
executable. This results in an ET_DYN instead of an ET_EXEC ELF output
file, which can be loaded at any location by the firmware and will
process its own relocations to work correctly at the loaded address.
This is of interest particularly since the standard ePAPR image format
must be an ET_DYN (although this patch alone is not sufficient to
produce a fully ePAPR compliant boot image).
Note for now we don't enable building with -pie for anything.

On Book3E, MMU_NO_CONTEXT != 0, but the slice_mm_new_context()
macro assumes that it is. This means that the map of the
page sizes for each slice is always initialized to zeroes
(which happens to be 4k pages), rather than to the correct
default base page size value - which might be 64k.
This patch corrects the problem.

Wakeup comes from the system reset handler with a potential loss of
the non-hypervisor CPU state. We save the non-volatile state on the
stack and a pointer to it in the PACA, which the system reset handler
uses to restore things

We need to wait a bit for them to have done their CPU setup
or we might end up with translation and EE on with different
LPCR values between threads

We do it before we loop on the PACA start flag. This way, we get a
chance to set critical SPRs on all CPUs before Linux tries to start
them up, which avoids problems when changing some bits such as LPCR
bits that need to be identical on all threads of a core or similar
things like that. Ideally, some of that should also be done before
the MMU is enabled, but that's a separate issue which would require
moving some of the SMP startup code earlier, let's not get there
for now, it works with that change alone.

This sets the default data stream prefetch size for operating
systems that don't set their own value in DSCR. We use 4 which

This uses feature sections to arrange that we always use HSPRG1
as the scratch register in the interrupt entry code rather than
SPRG2 when we're running in hypervisor mode on POWER7. This will
ensure that we don't trash the guest's SPRG2 when we are running
KVM guests. To simplify the code, we define GET_SCRATCH0() and
SET_SCRATCH0() macros like the GET_PACA/SET_PACA macros.

When running in Hypervisor mode (arch 2.06 or later), we store the PACA
in HSPRG0 instead of SPRG1. The architecture specifies that SPRGs may be
lost during a "nap" power management operation (though they aren't
currently on POWER7) and this enables use of SPRG1 by KVM guests.

This bit indicates that we are operating in hypervisor mode on a CPU
compliant to architecture 2.06 or later (currently server only).
We set it on POWER7 and have a boot-time CPU setup function that
clears it if MSR:HV isn't set (booting under a hypervisor).

Even when nothing is specified in the device tree, and despite the
fact that we don't setup links properly yet, we still need a reasonable
value in there or some interrupts won't be setup properly to point to
an existing processor.

This is a significant rework of the XICS driver, too significant to
conveniently break it up into a series of smaller patches to be honest.
The driver is moved to a more generic location to allow new platforms
to use it, and is broken up into separate ICP and ICS "backends". For
now we have the native and "hypervisor" ICP backends and one common
RTAS ICS backend.
The driver supports one ICP backend instanciation, and many ICS ones,
in order to accomodate future platforms with multiple possibly different
interrupt "sources" mechanisms.
