mpc832x, as in mpc8360, needs to explicitly find and create the
platform device for ucc_geth in 2.6.19.  This code will likely be
readapted to Benh's new of_ methods for 2.6.20.

This fixes a typo in the "new style" code for mapping SPE resources,
which causes it to try to map the same resource 4 times.

It also adds some pr_debug's that are useful to track down issues with
the firmware when bringinh up new machines.

<title>[POWERPC] Use 4kB iommu pages even on 64kB-page systems</title>

<id>5d2efba64b231a1733c4048d1708d77e07f26426</id>
<content type='text'>
The 10Gigabit ethernet device drivers appear to be able to chew
up all 256MB of TCE mappings on pSeries systems, as evidenced by
numerous error messages:

 iommu_alloc failed, tbl c0000000010d5c48 vaddr c0000000d875eff0 npages 1

Some experimentation indicates that this is essentially because
one 1500 byte ethernet MTU gets mapped as a 64K DMA region when
the large 64K pages are enabled. Thus, it doesn't take much to
exhaust all of the available DMA mappings for a high-speed card.

This patch changes the iommu allocator to work with its own
unique, distinct page size. Although the patch is long, its
actually quite simple: it just #defines a distinct IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE
and then uses this in all the places that matter.

As a side effect, it also dramatically improves network performance
on platforms with H-calls on iommu translation inserts/removes (since
we no longer call it 16 times for a 1500 bytes packet when the iommu HW
is still 4k).

In the future, we might want to make the IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE a variable
in the iommu_table instance, thus allowing support for different HW
page sizes in the iommu itself.

On CHRP platforms with only a 8259 controller, we should set the
default IRQ host to the 8259 driver's one for the IRQ probing
fallbacks to work in case the IRQ tree is incorrect (like on
Pegasos for example). Without this fix, we get a bunch of WARN_ON's
during boot.

Currently, spufs_mbox_read transfers more bytes than requested on a
read.  If you ask for four bytes, you get eight.  This fixes it to
transfer the largest multiple of four bytes that is less than or equal
to the number you asked for.

Note: one nasty property of this file in spufs is that you can only
read multiples of four bytes in the first place, since there is no way
to atomically put back a few bytes into the hardware register.  Thus,
reading less than four bytes returns -EINVAL.  Asking for more than
four returns the largest possible multiple of four.

There are currently two versions of the functions for applying the
feature fixups, one for CPU features and one for firmware features. In
addition, they are both in assembly and with separate implementations
for 32 and 64 bits. identify_cpu() is also implemented in assembly and
separately for 32 and 64 bits.

This patch replaces them with a pair of C functions. The call sites are
slightly moved on ppc64 as well to be called from C instead of from
assembly, though it's a very small change, and thus shouldn't cause any
problem.
