In the device tree for Ebony, the 'ranges' property in the node for
the EBC bridge shows the mappings from the chip select / address lines
actually used for the EBC peripherals into the address space of the
OPB. At present, these mappings are hardcoded in ebony.dts for the
mappings set up by the OpenBIOS firmware when it configures the EBC
bridge.
This replaces the hardcoded mappings with code in the zImage to
read the EBC configuration registers and create an appropriate ranges
property based on them. This should make the zImage and kernel more
robust to changes in firmware configuration. In particular, some of
the Ebony's DIP switches can change the effective address of the Flash
and other peripherals in OPB space. With this patch, the kernel will
be able to cope with at least some of the possible variations.

The ebony_exit() function which resets the Ebony board should in fact
be common to most if not all 44x boards. This moves the function out
into 44x.c, renaming it, so it can be used by other 44x platforms.

Currently the powerpc kernel has a 64-bit only feature,
COHERENT_ICACHE used for those CPUS which maintain icache/dcache
coherency in hardware (POWER5, essentially). It also has a feature,
SPLIT_ID_CACHE, which is used on CPUs which have separate i and
d-caches, which is to say everything except 601 and Freescale E200.
In nearly all the places we check the SPLIT_ID_CACHE, what we actually
care about is whether the i and d-caches are coherent (which they will
be, trivially, if they're the same cache).
This tries to clarify the situation a little. The COHERENT_ICACHE
feature becomes availble on 32-bit and is set for all CPUs where i and
d-cache are effectively coherent, whether this is due to special logic
(POWER5) or because they're unified. We check this, instead of
SPLIT_ID_CACHE nearly everywhere.
The SPLIT_ID_CACHE feature itself is replaced by a UNIFIED_ID_CACHE
feature with reversed sense, set only on 601 and Freescale E200. In
the two places (one Freescale BookE specific) where we really care
whether it's a unified cache, not whether they're coherent, we check
this feature. The CPUs with unified cache are so few, we could
consider replacing this feature bit with explicit checks against the
PVR.
This will make unifying the 32-bit and 64-bit cache flush code a
little more straightforward.

Using typedefs to rename structure types if frowned on by CodingStyle.
However, we do so for the hash PTE structure on both ppc32 (where it's
called "PTE") and ppc64 (where it's called "hpte_t"). On ppc32 we
also have such a typedef for the BATs ("BAT").
This removes this unhelpful use of typedefs, in the process
bringing ppc32 and ppc64 closer together, by using the name "struct
hash_pte" in both cases.

arch/powerpc still relies on asm-ppc/mmu.h for most 32-bit MMU types.
This is another step towards fixing this. It takes the portions

which are still relevant in arch/powerpc and puts them in a new
asm-powerpc/mmu-hash32.h, included when appropriate from

Currently, all OF-related code in the bootloader is contained in of.c.
of.c also provides the platform specific things necessary to boot on
an OF platform.
However, there are platforms (such as PReP) which can include an OF
implementation, but are not bootable as pure OF systems. For use by
such platforms, this patch splits out the low-level parts of the OF
code (call_prom() and various wrappers thereof) into a new oflib.c
file. In addition, the code related to bootwrapper console output via
OF are moved to a new ofconsole.c file. Both these files are included
in the wrapper.a library where they can be used by both full-OF and
partial OF platforms.

We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state
after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory
condition.
Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a
bad state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for
the application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very
obvious that something has gone wrong.
This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather than
just the one thread.

A Power6 can give up CPU cycles on a dedicated CPU (as opposed to a
shared CPU) to other shared processors if the administrator asks for it
(via the HMC).
This enables that to work properly on P6.
This just involves setting a bit in the CAS structure as well as the
VPA. To donate cycles, a CPU has to have all SMT threads idle and
have the donate bit set in the VPA. Then call H_CEDE.
The reason why shared processors just aren't used is because dedicated
CPUs are guaranteed an actual processor, yet the system is still able to
increase the capacity of the shared CPU pool.
Also rename the VPA's cpuctls_task_attrs field to a more accurate name.

The code for creating signal frames was still duplicated and split
in strange ways between 32 and 64 bits, including the SA_ONSTACK
handling being in do_signal on 32 bits but inside handle_rt_signal
on 64 bits etc...
This moves the 64 bits get_sigframe() to the generic signal.c,
cleans it a bit, moves the access_ok() call done by all callers to
it as well, and adapts/cleanups the 3 different signal handling cases
to use that common function.

This patch moves the code in signal_32.c and signal_64.c for handling
syscall restart into a common signal.c file and converge around a single
implementation that is based on the 32 bits one, using trap, ccr
and r3 rather than the special "result" field for deciding what to do.
The "result" field is now pretty much deprecated. We still set it for
the sake of whatever might rely on it in userland but we no longer use
it's content.
This, along with a previous patch that enables ptracers to write to
"trap" and "orig_r3" should allow gdb to properly handle syscall
restarting.

One of the gratuitous difference between 32 and 64-bit ptrace is
whether you can whack the MSR:FE0 and FE1 bits from ptrace. This
patch forbids it unconditionally. In addition, the 64-bit kernels
used to return the exception mode in the MSR on reads, but 32-bit
kernels didn't. This patch makes it return those bits on both.
Finally, since ptrace-ppc32.h and ptrace-ppc64.h are mostly empty now, and
since the previous patch made ptrace32.c no longer need the MSR_DEBUGCHANGE
definition, we just remove those 2 files and move back the remaining bits
to ptrace.c (they were short lived heh ?).

This patch allows a ptracer to write to the "trap" and "orig_r3" words
of the pt_regs.
This, along with a subsequent patch to the signal restart code, should
enable gdb to properly handle syscall restarting after executing a separate
function (at least when there's no restart block).
This patch also removes ptrace32.c code toying directly with the registers
and makes it use the ptrace_get/put_reg() accessors for everything so that
the logic for checking what is permitted is in only one place.
