Implement the HCALLs to do more than one TCE setup or invalidation at a
time on pSeries LPAR.  Previous implementation did one hypervisor call per
setup or teardown, resulting in significant overhead.

A simple test of "time dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=128k" shows the
amount of system time go down by about 5% by using the multi-tce calls.

ppc64 has constraints on the mixing of small and large pages, such that
they cannot be mixed in the same 256Mb segment.  This patch provides an
architecture specific arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() which implements
these contraints.

Recent patches introduced a top down user process address space allocation
policy; further patches enable this for ppc64.  Although these work
correctly for normal maps, the topdown algorithm does not take into account
stringent mixing constraints for small and large pages on this
architecture.  These patches introduce a ppc64 specific
arch_get_unused_area_topdown() variant.  The first introduces
infrastructure to allow replacement of the generic
arch_get_unused_area_topdown() and the second utilises this infrastructure.

In this patch I have followed the pattern set by the arch_get_unused_area()
using HAVE_ARCH_UNMAPPED_AREA_TOPDOWN to be consistent.  However, it would
also be possible to simply have a ppc64_get_unused_area_topdown() in the
arch/ppc64/mm/mmap.c or to use weak bindings.

This patch:

Allow an architecture to override the default definition of
arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown().

This patch adds explicit checking for EEH slot isolation events into the
PCI config space read path.  The change itself would have been minor,
except that pci config reads don't have a pointer to a struct pci_dev.
Thus, I had to restructure the eeh code to accomodate this, which seems to
be a good thing anyway, making it a tad cleaner.

This has been given basic testing on Power4 pSeries and iSeries machines.

At present, the SLB miss handler has to check the SLB slot it is about to
use to ensure that it does not contain the SLBE for the current kernel
stack - throwing out the SLBE for the kernel stack can trigger the
"megabug": we have no SLBE for the stack, but we don't fault immediately
because we have an ERAT entry for it.  The ERAT entry is then lost due to a
tlbie on another CPU during the unrecoverable section of the exception
return path.

This patch implements a different approach - with this patch SLB slot 2
always (well, nearly always) contains an SLBE for the stack.  This slot is
never cast out by the normal SLB miss path.  On context switch, an SLBE for
the new stack is pinned into this slot, unless the new stack is the the
bolted segment.

For iSeries we need a special workaround because there is no way of
ensuring the stack SLBE is preserved an a shared processor switch.  So, we
still need to handle taking an SLB miss on the stack, in which case we must
make sure it is loaded into slot 2, rather than using the normal
round-robin.

This approach shaves a few ns off the slb miss time (on pSeries), but more
importantly makes it easier to experiment with different SLB castout
aporoaches without worrying about reinstating the megabug.

 ... but a better solution should probably be found, that's saved_auxv
in struct mm_struct is ... hrm... disgusting at least ;)

So the problem is that we currently do

	unsigned long saved_auxv[40];

That is we assume that all archs will have an AUXV entry of no more than
2 unsigned longs and we'll have no more than 20 entries in the table.

Unfortunately, this is wrong.

PPC/PPC64 adds 5 platform entries. then we add 14 in the common code,
and then we have

	if (k_platform) {
		NEW_AUX_ENT(AT_PLATFORM, (elf_addr_t)(unsigned long)u_platform);
	}
	if (bprm->interp_flags & BINPRM_FLAGS_EXECFD) {
		NEW_AUX_ENT(AT_EXECFD, (elf_addr_t) bprm->interp_data);
	}

which may add a 20th entry... which means we are already out of room for
the terminating AT_NULL entry... bad bad bad.

Now I'm adding AT_SYSINFO_EHDR to ppc/ppc64 and it breaks all the time.

The quick fix is to bump the number of entries in struct mm_struct to 42,
though that's worth a big BOLD comment in binfmt_elf in case anybody adds
a new entry in there. (Patch below). I wonder if we shouldn't add a
ARCH_MAX_AUXV_ENTRIES macro to the asm-arch/elf.h though to get the max
amount of entry the arch may add to the normal count, and have the mm
struct array use that plus the number of "normal" entries...

This patch increase the max amount of auxv entries in struct mm_struct to
42 so that ppc & ppc64 don't get a chance to blow the array up.

I've been hunting down a bug affecting IBM x440/x445 systems where the
floppy driver would get spurious interrupts and would not initialize
properly.

After digging James Cleverdon and Bill Irwin pointed out that target_cpus()
is routing the interrupts to the clustered apic broadcast mask using
destFixed deliver mode.  This was causing multiple interrupts to show up,
breaking the floppy init code.

This fix simply changes the delivery mode to dest_LowestPrio and initially
routes interrupts to the first cpu to resolve this issue.
