Instead of separate bits for every POWER8 PMU feature, have a single one
for v2.07 of the architecture.

This saves us adding a MMCR2 define for a future patch.

In fb5a515704d7 "powerpc: Remove platforms/wsp and associated pieces",
we removed the last user of MMU_FTRS_A2. So remove it.

MMU_FTRS_A2 was the last user of MMU_FTR_TYPE_3E, so remove it also.
This leaves some unreachable code in mmu_context_nohash.c, so remove
that also.

<title>powerpc/powernv: Remove OPAL v1 takeover</title>

<content type='text'>
In commit 27f4488872d9 "Add OPAL takeover from PowerVM" we added support
for "takeover" on OPAL v1 machines.

This was a mode of operation where we would boot under pHyp, and query
for the presence of OPAL. If detected we would then do a special
sequence to take over the machine, and the kernel would end up running
in hypervisor mode.

OPAL v1 was never a supported product, and was never shipped outside
IBM. As far as we know no one is still using it.

Newer versions of OPAL do not use the takeover mechanism. Although the
query for OPAL should be harmless on machines with newer OPAL, we have
seen a machine where it causes a crash in Open Firmware.

The code in early_init_devtree() to copy boot_command_line into cmd_line
was added in commit 817c21ad9a1f "Get kernel command line accross OPAL
takeover", and AFAIK is only used by takeover, so should also be
removed.

<title>powerpc: Add ppc_global_function_entry()</title>

ABIv2 has the concept of a global and local entry point to a function.
In most cases we are interested in the local entry point, and so that is
what ppc_function_entry() returns.

However we have a case in the ftrace code where we want the global entry
point, and there may be other places we need it too. Rather than special
casing each, add an accessor.

For ABIv1 and 32-bit there is only a single entry point, so we return
that. That means it's safe for the caller to use this without also
checking the ABI version.

The generic code uses gcc built-ins which work fine so there's no benefit
in implementing our own anymore.

We can't completely remove the ld/st_le* functions as some historical
cruft still uses them, but that's next on the radar

<title>powerpc/eeh: Dump PE location code</title>

As Ben suggested, it's meaningful to dump PE's location code
for site engineers when hitting EEH errors. The patch introduces
function eeh_pe_loc_get() to retireve the location code from
dev-tree so that we can output it when hitting EEH errors.

If primary PE bus is root bus, the PHB's dev-node would be tried
prior to root port's dev-node. Otherwise, the upstream bridge's
dev-node of the primary PE bus will be check for the location code
directly.

<title>powerpc/powernv: Fix killed EEH event</title>

On PowerNV platform, EEH errors are reported by IO accessors or poller
driven by interrupt. After the PE is isolated, we won't produce EEH
event for the PE. The current implementation has possibility of EEH
event lost in this way:

The interrupt handler queues one "special" event, which drives the poller.
EEH thread doesn't pick the special event yet. IO accessors kicks in, the
frozen PE is marked as "isolated" and EEH event is queued to the list.
EEH thread runs because of special event and purge all existing EEH events.
However, we never produce an other EEH event for the frozen PE. Eventually,
the PE is marked as "isolated" and we don't have EEH event to recover it.

The patch fixes the issue to keep EEH events for PEs that have been
marked as "isolated" with the help of additional "force" help to
eeh_remove_event().

In commit 330a1eb "Core EBB support for 64-bit book3s" I messed up
clear_task_ebb(). It clears some but not all of the task's Event Based
Branch (EBB) registers when we duplicate a task struct.

That allows a child task to observe the EBBHR &amp; EBBRR of its parent,
which it should not be able to do.

Fix it by clearing EBBHR &amp; EBBRR.
