The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.
This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

This was used to flush a region even if the page table entry had been
cleared. In theory this was never necessary, but now we've switched to
alias based flushing, the whole set of code associated with it can be dumped.

The kernel has an 8M tmpailas space (originally designed for copying
and clearing pages but now only used for clearing). The idea is
to place zeros into the cache above a physical page rather than into
the physical page and flush the cache, because often the zeros end up
being replaced quickly anyway.
We can also use the tmpalias space for flushing a page. The difference
here is that we have to do tmpalias processing in the non access data and
instruction traps. The principle is the same: as long as we know the physical
address and have a virtual address congruent to the real one, the flush will
be effective.
In order to use the tmpalias space, the icache miss path has to be enhanced to
check for the alias region to make the fic instruction effective.

thp: export maybe_mkwrite
Causes us an unsatisfiable use of pte_mkwrite in linux/mm.h
The fix is obviously not to include linux/mm.h in our pgtable.h, which
unbreaks the build.

Remove the broken line wrapping handling in pdc_iodc_print().
It is broken in 3 ways :
- It doesn't keep track of the current screen position, it just
assumes that the new buffer will be printed at the begining of the
screen.
- It doesn't take in account that non printable characters won't
increase the current position on the screen.
- And last but not least, it triggers a kernel panic if a backspace
is the first char in the provided buffer :
Backtrace:
[<0000000040128ec4>] pdc_console_write+0x44/0x78
[<0000000040128f18>] pdc_console_tty_write+0x20/0x38

Most terminals handle the line wrapping just fine. I've confirmed that
it works correctly on a C8000 with both vga and serial output.

Fixed up conflicts in drivers/serial/apbuart.c with evil merge that
makes the code look fairly sane (unlike either side).
The generic conversion eliminates the spurious no_ack and no_end
routines, converts all the cascaded handlers to handle_simple_irq() and
makes iosapic use a modified handle_percpu_irq() to become the same as
the CPU irq's. This isn't an essential change, but it eliminates the
mask/unmask overhead of handle_level_irq().

The essential problem we're currently having is that dino (and gsc) is a
cascaded CPU interrupt. Under the old __do_IRQ() handler, our CPU
interrupts basically did an ack followed by an end. In the new scheme,
we replaced them with level handlers which do a mask, an ack and then an
unmask (but no end). Instead, with the renaming of end to eoi, we
actually want to call the percpu flow handlers, because they actually
have all the characteristics we want.
This patch does the conversion and gets my C360 booting again.

Commit 3e4d3af501 ("mm: stack based kmap_atomic()") overlooked the
fact that parisc uses kmap as a coherence mechanism, so even though we
have no highmem, we do need to supply our own versions of kmap (and
atomic). This patch converts the parisc kmap to the form which is
needed to keep it compiling (it's a simple prototype and name change).

This patch adds a tty driver to the PDC console. It allows the use
of ports not supported by linux as a console (e.g. serial port on
C8000.) The tty driver will not register the ttyB device if PDC console
driver has been unregistered. This happens when the early printk
console is disabled as it has not been selected as the primary console.
