<title>powerpc: Remove unused vgacon_remap_base &amp; fix build break</title>

<id>e88f157de5e0b327b1b26e3260de4b16c07e2d19</id>
<content type='text'>
The build is broken with CONFIG_PPC32=y, CONFIG_FB_VGA16=y and
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=n.

The problem is that vgacon_remap_base is not defined. It's used in:

    #define VGA_MAP_MEM(x,s) (x + vgacon_remap_base)

Which is used in the vga16fb.c code.

Digging down it seems vgacon_remap_base is never initialised. It used to
be, back in arch/ppc (pplus.c and prep_setup.c), but none of that code
ever made it to arch/powerpc.

So given it's been unused for &gt;6 years, remove it.

Whether vga16fb.c works on 32-bit is another question, but this patch
shouldn't affect it.

At the moment we transition from the memblock alloctor to the bootmem
allocator. Gitting rid of the bootmem allocator removes a bunch of
complicated code (most of which I owe the dubious honour of being
responsible for writing).

Move the definition to setup-common.c and set the init value
to -1 on both 32 and 64-bit (it was 0 on 64-bit).

Additionally add a check to prom.c to garantee that the init
value has been udpated after the DT scan.

<title>powerpc/ppc32: Fix the bug in the init of non-base exception stack for UP</title>

We would allocate one specific exception stack for each kind of
non-base exceptions for every CPU. For ppc32 the CPU hard ID is
used as the subscript to get the specific exception stack for
one CPU. But for an UP kernel, there is only one element in the
each kind of exception stack array. We would get stuck if the
CPU hard ID is not equal to '0'. So in this case we should use the
subscript '0' no matter what the CPU hard ID is.

Default CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT to 180 seconds on powerpc. The
pSeries continue to set the timeout to 10 seconds at run-time.

Thus, there's a small window where we don't have the correct
value on pSeries, but if this is only run-time discoverable we
don't have a better option. In any case, if the user changes the
default setting of 180 seconds, we honor that user setting.

Move the few declarations from arch/powerpc/kernel/setup.h
into arch/powerpc/include/asm/setup.h.  This resolves a
sparse warning for arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c which defines
do_init_bootmem() but can't include the setup.h header
in the prior path.

Resolves:
arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c:998:13:
        warning: symbol 'do_init_bootmem' was not declared.
                 Should it be static?

At console init, when the kernel tries to flush the log buffer
the ePAPR byte-channel based console write fails silently,
losing the buffered messages.
This happens because The ePAPR para-virtualization init isn't
done early enough so that the hcall instruction to be set,
causing the byte-channel write hcall to be a nop.
To fix, change the ePAPR para-virt init to use early device
tree functions and move it in early init.
