book3e is different with book3s since 3s includes the exception
vectors code in head_64.S as it relies on absolute addressing
which is only possible within this compilation unit. So we have
to get that label address with got.

And when boot a relocated kernel, we should reset ipvr properly again
after .relocate.

<title>powerpc/fsl: Force coherent memory on e500mc derivatives</title>

<content type='text'>
In CoreNet systems it is not allowed to mix M and non-M mappings to the
same memory, and coherent DMA accesses are considered to be M mappings
for this purpose.  Ignoring this has been observed to cause hard
lockups in non-SMP kernels on e6500.

Furthermore, e6500 implements the LRAT (logical to real address table)
which allows KVM guests to control the WIMGE bits.  This means that
KVM cannot force the M bit on the way it usually does, so the guest had
better set it itself.

<title>powerpc/booke: Revert SPE/AltiVec common defines for interrupt numbers</title>

<id>2b2695a8d85593ec0253f7fdbeea1e18f0f9e5e2</id>
<content type='text'>
Book3E specification defines shared interrupt numbers for SPE and AltiVec
units. Still SPE is present in e200/e500v2 cores while AltiVec is present in
e6500 core. So we can currently decide at compile-time which unit to support
exclusively. As Alexander Graf suggested, this will improve code readability
especially in KVM.

Use distinct defines to identify SPE/AltiVec interrupt numbers, reverting
c58ce397 and 6b310fc5 patches that added common defines.

WSP is the last user of CONFIG_PPC_A2, so we remove that as well.

Although CONFIG_PPC_ICSWX still exists, it's no longer selectable for
any Book3E platform, so we can remove the code in mmu-book3e.h that
depended on it.

binutils is smart enough to know that a branch to a function
descriptor is actually a branch to the functions text address.

Alan tells me that binutils has been doing this for 9 years.

Add special state saving for critical and machine check exceptions.

Most of this code could be used to handle debug exceptions taken from
kernel space, but actually doing so is outside the scope of this patch.

The various critical and machine check exceptions now point to their
real handlers, rather than hanging the kernel.

Use the proper scratch SPRG and PACA region.  Introduce level-specific
macros to simplify usage and avoid needing to do a bunch of token
pasting throughout EXCEPTION_COMMON().

Now that EXCEPTION_COMMON_DBG() is properly using the debug scratch
register, there's no more need for the caller to move the value to the
GEN scratch first.
