Move the file from arch specific pseries/processor_idle.c
to drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle-pseries.c
Make the relevant Makefile and Kconfig changes.
Also, introduce Kconfig.powerpc in drivers/cpuidle
for all powerpc cpuidle drivers.

Add support for the arch_get_random_long() hook based on the H_RANDOM
hypervisor call. We trust the hypervisor to provide us with random data,
ie. we don't whiten it in anyway.

The patch moves the common part of EEH core into arch/powerpc/kernel
directory so that we needn't PPC_PSERIES while compiling POWERNV
platform:

        * Move the EEH common part into arch/powerpc/kernel
        * Move the functions for PCI hotplug from pSeries platform to
          arch/powerpc/kernel/pci-hotplug.c
        * Move CONFIG_EEH from arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/Kconfig to
          arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig
        * Adjust makefile accordingly

<title>powerpc: Build kernel with -mcmodel=medium</title>

Finally remove the two level TOC and build with -mcmodel=medium.

Unfortunately we can't build modules with -mcmodel=medium due to
the tricks the kernel module loader plays with percpu data:

# -mcmodel=medium breaks modules because it uses 32bit offsets from
# the TOC pointer to create pointers where possible. Pointers into the
# percpu data area are created by this method.
#
# The kernel module loader relocates the percpu data section from the
# original location (starting with 0xd...) to somewhere in the base
# kernel percpu data space (starting with 0xc...). We need a full
# 64bit relocation for this to work, hence -mcmodel=large.

On older kernels we fall back to the two level TOC (-mminimal-toc)

For one particular PE, it's only meaningful in the ancestor PHB
domain. Therefore, each PHB should have its own PE hierarchy tree
to trace those PEs created against the PHB.

The patch creates PEs for the PHBs and put those PEs into the
global link list traced by "eeh_phb_pe". The link list of PEs
would be first level of overall PE hierarchy tree across the
system.

Original EEH implementation depends on struct pci_dn heavily. However,
EEH shouldn't depend on that actually because EEH needn't share much
information with other PCI components. That's to say, EEH should have
worked independently.

The patch introduces struct eeh_dev so that EEH core components needn't
be working based on struct pci_dn in future. Also, struct pci_dn, struct
eeh_dev instances are created in dynamic fasion and the binding with EEH
device, OF node, PCI device is implemented as well.

The EEH devices are created after PHBs are detected and initialized, but
PCI emunation hasn't started yet. Apart from that, PHB might be created
dynamically through DLPAR component and the EEH devices should be creatd
as well. Another case might be OF node is created dynamically by DR
(Dynamic Reconfiguration), which has been defined by PAPR. For those OF
nodes created by DR, EEH devices should be also created accordingly. The
binding between EEH device and OF node is done while the EEH device is
initially created.

The binding between EEH device and PCI device should be done after PCI
emunation is done. Besides, PCI hotplug also needs the binding so that
the EEH devices could be traced from the newly coming PCI buses or PCI
devices.

EEH has been implemented on RTAS-compliant pSeries platform.
That's to say, the EEH operations will be implemented through RTAS
calls eventually. The situation limited feasible extension on EEH.
In order to support EEH on multiple platforms like pseries and powernv
simutaneously. We have to split the platform dependent EEH options
up out of current implementation.

The patch addresses supporting EEH on multiple platforms. The pseries
platform dependent EEH operations will be abstracted by struct eeh_ops.
EEH core components will be built based on the registered EEH operations.
With the mechanism, what the individual platform needs to do is implement
platform dependent EEH operations.

For now, the pseries platform is covered under the mechanism. That means
we have to think about other platforms to support EEH, like powernv.
Besides, we only have framework for the mechanism and we have to implement
it for pseries platform later.

based on pseries_dedicated_idle_loop and pseries_shared_idle_loop
routines.  The driver is built only if CONFIG_CPU_IDLE is set. This
cpuidle driver uses global registration of idle states and
