Once the linear memory space has been mapped with 8Mb pages, as
seen in the related commit, we get 11 millions DTLB missed during
the reference 600s period. 77% of the misses are on user addresses
and 23% are on kernel addresses (1 fourth for linear address space
and 3 fourth for virtual address space)
Traditionaly, each driver manages one computer board which has its
own components with its own memory maps.
But on embedded chips like the MPC8xx, the SOC has all registers
located in the same IO area.
When looking at ioremaps done during startup, we see that
many drivers are re-mapping small parts of the IMMR for their own use
and all those small pieces gets their own 4k page, amplifying the
number of TLB misses: in our system we get 0xff000000 mapped 31 times
and 0xff003000 mapped 9 times.
Even if each part of IMMR was mapped only once with 4k pages, it would
still be several small mappings towards linear area.
This patch maps the IMMR with a single 512k page.
With this patch applied, the number of DTLB misses during the 10 min
period is reduced to 11.8 millions for a duration of 5.8s, which
represents 2% of the non-idle time hence yet another 10% reduction.

Memory: 124428K/131072K available (3748K kernel code, 188K rwdata,
648K rodata, 508K init, 290K bss, 6644K reserved)
Kernel virtual memory layout:
* 0xfffdf000..0xfffff000 : fixmap
* 0xfde00000..0xfe000000 : consistent mem
* 0xfddf6000..0xfde00000 : early ioremap
* 0xc9000000..0xfddf6000 : vmalloc & ioremap
SLUB: HWalign=16, Order=0-3, MinObjects=0, CPUs=1, Nodes=1
Today, IMMR is mapped 1:1 at startup
Mapping IMMR 1:1 is just wrong because it may overlap with another
area. On most mpc8xx boards it is OK as IMMR is set to 0xff000000
but for instance on EP88xC board, IMMR is at 0xfa200000 which
overlaps with VM ioremap area
This patch fixes the virtual address for remapping IMMR with the fixmap
regardless of the value of IMMR.
The size of IMMR area is 256kbytes (CPM at offset 0, security engine
at offset 128k) so a 512k page is enough

This patch provides VIRT_CPU_ACCOUTING to PPC32 architecture.
PPC32 doesn't have the PACA structure, so we use the task_info
structure to store the accounting data.
In order to reuse on PPC32 the PPC64 functions, all u64 data has
been replaced by 'unsigned long' so that it is u32 on PPC32 and
u64 on PPC64

cpm_qe is supported on both powerpc and arm.
and the QE code has been moved from arch/powerpc into
drivers/soc/fsl, so move cpm_qe binding from powerpc/fsl
to soc/fsl
