At present the lppaca - the structure shared with the iSeries
hypervisor and phyp - is contained within the PACA, our own low-level
per-cpu structure. This doesn't have to be so, the patch below
removes it, making a separate array of lppaca structures.
This saves approximately 500*NR_CPUS bytes of image size and kernel
memory, because we don't need aligning gap between the Linux and
hypervisor portions of every PACA. On the other hand it means an
extra level of dereference in many accesses to the lppaca.
The patch also gets rid of several places where we assign the paca
address to a local variable for no particular reason.

The udbg low level io layer has an issue with udbg_getc() returning a
char (unsigned on ppc) instead of an int, thus the -1 if you had no
available input device could end up turned into 0xff, filling your
display with bogus characters. This fixes it, along with adding a little
blob to xmon to do a delay before exiting when getting an EOF and fixing
the detection of ADB keyboards in udbg_adb.c

This patch unifies udbg for both ppc32 and ppc64 when building the
merged achitecture. xmon now has a single "back end". The powermac udbg
stuff gets enriched with some ADB capabilities and btext output. In
addition, the early_init callback is now called on ppc32 as well,
approx. in the same order as ppc64 regarding device-tree manipulations.
The init sequences of ppc32 and ppc64 are getting closer, I'll unify
them in a later patch.
For now, you can force udbg to the scc using "sccdbg" or to btext using
"btextdbg" on powermacs. I'll implement a cleaner way of forcing udbg
output to something else than the autodetected OF output device in a
later patch.

This moves the discovery of legacy serial ports to a separate file,
makes it common to ppc32 and ppc64, and reworks it to use the new OF
address translators to get to the ports early. This new version can also
detect some PCI serial cards using legacy chips and will probably match
those discovered port with the default console choice.
Only ppc64 gets udbg still yet, unifying udbg isn't finished yet.
It also adds some speed-probing code to udbg so that the default console
can come up at the same speed it was set to by the firmware.

Some debug code wasn't properly removed from the initial 64k pages
patch, and while it's harmless, it's also slowing down significantly a
very hot code path, thus it should really be removed.

Mostly this involves adding #include <asm/smp.h>, since that defines
things like boot_cpuid[_phys] and [gs]et_hard_smp_processor_id, which
are SMP-related but still needed on UP. This incorporates fixes
posted by Olof Johansson and Heikki Lindholm.

The ancient ppcdebug/PPCDBG mechanism is now only used in two places.
First, in the hash setup code, one of the bits allows the size of the
hash table to be reduced by a factor of 8 - which would be better
accomplished with a command line option for that purpose. The other
was a bunch of bus walking related messages in the iSeries code, which
would seem to be insufficient reason to keep the mechanism.
This patch removes the last traces of this mechanism.
Built and booted on iSeries and pSeries POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc).

Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel
base page size to 64K. The resulting kernel still boots on any
hardware. On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel
will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently.
Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch
will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm
still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the
information from the newer hypervisors.

register_vpa() doesn't actually do a VPA register call it just uses the flags
you pass it, so rename it to vpa_call() to be clearer.
We can then define register_vpa() and unregister_vpa() which are both simple
wrappers around vpa_call(). (we'll need unregister_vpa() for kexec soon)
We can then cleanup vpa_init(), and because vpa_init() is only called from
platforms/pseries we remove the definition in asm-ppc64/smp.h.

Move plpar_wrappers.h into arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries, fixup white space,
and update callers.
