vi fixup

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

Gone are the days of initialising stuff we touch in prom_init just
to keep it out of the BSS. There are a few things the hypervisor
writes to in the iseries case, hard code them into the data segment
and add a comment.

Remove the -fno-zero-initialized-in-bss hack, it was required when
gcc got smart and put zero initialised stuff into the BSS

Xmon changes to make breakpoints and single-stepping work on pSeries LPARs.
Also changed help text to reflect obsolete cmds.

Looks like glibc is using stat in some places, so we should modify
it to copy the nanosecond fields. Also speed up stat by only checking
the region once instead of each put_user call.

correct epoll syscall names

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

setup_cpu was being called for the boot cpu after all other cpus had been
spun up.  The init thread can sleep during secondary cpu spinup (eg migration
thread init) and sometimes the init thread would switch to another cpu at
this time.  The end result was setup_cpu was called twice on one cpu and
never on the boot cpu.

The original fix called setup_cpu on the boot cpu before all others but that
wont work for G5, so we now use cpu affinity calls to enforce it.

- Remove a bunch of unnecessary sections
- Always declare section labels inside the section (bug found on ppc32)
- Rearrange sections to waste less space

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

 - remove old checks target, no longer used
 - add -mtraceback=none, we dont use traceback tables any more
 - add check for -mcpu=power4, older toolchains dont support this option

Rewrite __hash_page function in assembly in such a way we don't need
the page table lock any more. We now rely on a BUSY bit in the linux
PTE on which we spin on when doing an update of the PTE

VMX (Altivec) support & signal32 rework, from Ben Herrenschmidt

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

Binutils uses the recent mtcrf optimisation when compiling for a POWER4
target.  Unfortunately this causes a program check on POWER3.  We required
compiling for POWER4 so the tlbiel instruction would be recognised.

For the moment we hardwire the tlbiel instruction, longer term we can use the
binutils -many flag.

Preliminary iSeries support.  Still a bit hackish in parts but it does
compile.  The viodasd driver is almost completely untested so don't trust it
with your data.

This is a port of the nvram buffering/error logging code from 2.4 to 2.6.  It
includes moving /proc/rtas to /proc/ppc64/rtas and making /proc/rtas a
symlink to /proc/ppc64/rtas.  It also splits up the /dev/nvram device
read/write functions from the basic nvram access functions, and adds ppc_md
fields for the nvram access functions.

Initial round of code to add shared processor support into 2.6.  This adds
h_call interfaces, paca/VPA fields, and vpa register.  Add adds new idle loop

Currently the sched_clock implementation for PPC64 is bogus.  It just reads
the timebase register, which counts at some fixed rate, typically around
100MHz.  This patch adds code to calculate a suitable multiplier from the
timebase frequency, and use that in sched_clock().
