The previous patch changing pSeries to use H_BULK_REMOVE broke the
JS20 blade, where the firmware doesn't support H_BULK_REMOVE. This
adds a firmware check so that on machines that don't have H_BULK_REMOVE,
we just use the H_REMOVE call as before.

When we do full FP emulation its possible that we need to post a SIGFPE based
on the results of the emulation. The previous code ignored this case completely.
Additionally, the Soft_emulate_8xx case had two issues. One, we should never
generate a SIGFPE since the code only does data movement. Second, we were
interpreting the return codes incorrectly, it returns 0 on success, 1 on
illop and -EFAULT on a data access error.

Anytime we are emulating an instruction we are going to be doing some form of
get_user() to get the instruction image to decode. Since get_user() might
sleep we need to ensure we have interrupts enabled or we might see something
like:
Debug: sleeping function called from invalid context at arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:697
in_atomic():0, irqs_disabled():1
Call Trace:
[D6023EB0] [C0007F84] show_stack+0x58/0x174 (unreliable)
[D6023EE0] [C0022C34] __might_sleep+0xbc/0xd0
[D6023EF0] [C000D158] program_check_exception+0x1d8/0x4fc
[D6023F40] [C000E744] ret_from_except_full+0x0/0x4c
--- Exception: 700 at 0x102a7100
LR = 0xdb9ef04
However, we want to ensure that interrupts are disabled when handling a trap
exception that might be used for a kernel breakpoint. This is why ProgramCheck
is marked as EXC_XFER_STD instead of EXC_XFER_EE.

Added kprobes to ppc32 platforms that have use single_step_exception. This
excludes 4xx and anything Book-E since their debug mechanisms for single stepping
are completely different.

H_BULK_REMOVE lets us remove 4 entries from the MMU hash table with one
hypervisor call. This uses it in pSeries_lpar_hpte_invalidate so we
can tear down mappings with fewer hypervisor calls.

Some instruction tracing tools use the RI (recoverable interrupt) bit
in the MSR to indicate when it's safe to single-step. Currently we
clear RI after restoring r13 when returning to userspace. However,
if we single-step past the point where r13 is restored, we'll corrupt
r13 in the exception entry code and not restore it. This moves the
clearing of RI to just before r13 is restored so this doesn't happen.

To the issue: some point during 2.6.20 development, Paul Mackerras
introduced the "lazy IRQ disabling" patch (very cool work, BTW).
In that patch, the performance monitor unit exception was marked as
"maskable", in the sense that if interrupts were soft-disabled, that
exception could be ignored. This broke my PowerPC profiling code.
The symptom that I see is that a varying number of interrupts
(from 0 to $n$, typically closer to 0) get delivered, when, in
reality, it should always be very close to $n$.
The issue stems from the way masking is being done. Masking in
this fashion seems to work well with the decrementer and external
interrupts, because they are raised again until "really" handled.
For the PMU, however, this does not apply (at least on my Xserver
machine with a 970FX processor). If the PMU exception is not handled,
it will _not_ be re-raised (at least on my machine). The documentation
states that the PMXE bit in MMCR0 is set to 0 when the PMU exception
is raised. However, software must re-set the bit to re-enable PMU
exceptions. If the exception is ignored (as currently) not only is
that interrupt lost, but because software does not re-set PMXE, the
PMU registers are "frozen" forever.
[This patch means that performance monitor exceptions are taken and
handled even if irqs are off, as long as some other interrupt hasn't
come along and caused interrupts to be hard-disabled. In this sense
the PMU exception becomes like an NMI. The oprofile code for most
powerpc processors does nothing that is unsafe in an NMI context, but
the Cell oprofile code does a spin_lock_irqsave. However, that turns
out to be OK because Cell doesn't actually use the performance
monitor exception; performance monitor interrupts come in as a
regular interrupt on Cell, so will be disabled when irqs are off.

Some systems supported by the maple platform (e.g. JS2x blades running
SLOF) are able to use the mmio_nvram backend for reading and writing
nvram. This is an improvement over the current situation -- no nvram
access from userspace at all.
Select MMIO_NVRAM for the maple platform.
Initialize the mmio_nvram backend from maple setup code.
