We get the following warnings in various ARCH=ppc builds:

WARNING: "ee_restarts" [arch/ppc/kernel/built-in] is COMMON symbol
WARNING: "fee_restarts" [arch/ppc/kernel/built-in] is COMMON symbol
WARNING: "htab_hash_searches" [arch/ppc/mm/built-in] is COMMON symbol

WARNING: "primary_pteg_full" [arch/ppc/mm/built-in] is COMMON symbol
WARNING: "global_dbcr0" [arch/ppc/kernel/built-in] is COMMON symbol

Switch to local symbols for ee_restarts, fee_restarts, and global_dbcr0 and
global symbols for mmu_hash_lock, next_slot, primary_pteg_full, and
htab_hash_searches.

(except mmu_hash_lock which is global) and
space directive instead.

<title>ppc: Remove CHRP, POWER3 and POWER4 support from arch/ppc</title>

32-bit CHRP machines are now supported only in arch/powerpc, as are
all 64-bit PowerPC processors.  This means that we don't use
Open Firmware on any platform in arch/ppc any more.

This makes PReP support a single-platform option like every other
platform support option in arch/ppc now, thus CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM
is gone from arch/ppc.  CONFIG_PPC_PREP is the option that selects
PReP support and is generally what has replaced
CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM within arch/ppc.

_machine is all but dead now, being #defined to 0.

Updated Makefiles, comments and Kconfig options generally to reflect
these changes.

<title>powerpc: Unify the 32 and 64 bit idle loops</title>

This unifies the 32-bit (ARCH=ppc and ARCH=powerpc) and 64-bit idle
loops.  It brings over the concept of having a ppc_md.power_save
function from 32-bit to ARCH=powerpc, which lets us get rid of
native_idle().  With this we will also be able to simplify the idle
handling for pSeries and cell.

A careful reading of the recent changes to the system call entry/exit
paths revealed several problems, plus some things that could be
simplified and improved:

* 32-bit wasn't testing the _TIF_NOERROR bit in the syscall fast exit
  path, so it was only doing anything with it once it saw some other
  bit being set.  In other words, the noerror behaviour would apply to
  the next system call where we had to reschedule or deliver a signal,
  which is not necessarily the current system call.

* 32-bit wasn't doing the call to ptrace_notify in the syscall exit
  path when the _TIF_SINGLESTEP bit was set.

* _TIF_RESTOREALL was in both _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK and
  _TIF_PERSYSCALL_MASK, which is odd since _TIF_RESTOREALL is only set
  by system calls.  I took it out of _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK.

* On 64-bit, _TIF_RESTOREALL wasn't causing the non-volatile registers
  to be restored (unless perhaps a signal was delivered or the syscall
  was traced or single-stepped).  Thus the non-volatile registers
  weren't restored on exit from a signal handler.  We probably got
  away with it mostly because signal handlers written in C wouldn't
  alter the non-volatile registers.

* On 32-bit I simplified the code and made it more like 64-bit by
  making the syscall exit path jump to ret_from_except to handle
  preemption and signal delivery.

* 32-bit was calling do_signal unnecessarily when _TIF_RESTOREALL was
  set - but I think because of that 32-bit was actually restoring the
  non-volatile registers on exit from a signal handler.

* I changed the order of enabling interrupts and saving the
  non-volatile registers before calling do_syscall_trace_leave; now we
  enable interrupts first.

This makes ARCH=ppc build in your powerpc tree again, with the new
syscall entry/exit path.

Still doesn't actually boot on my Pegasos; the last thing I see is
'MMU:exit'. But at least it builds -- I'll look at why it doesn't boot
later, so that I can see if the mv643xx_eth actually works with ARCH=ppc
(it doesn't with ARCH=powerpc; two in every three packets I receive are
offset by 4 bytes).

<content type='text'>
Merge ppc32 and ppc64 versions of thread_info.h.  They were pretty
similar already, the chief changes are:

	- Instead of inline asm to implement current_thread_info(),
which needs to be different for ppc32 and ppc64, we use C with an
asm("r1") register variable.  gcc turns it into the same asm as we
used to have for both platforms.
	- We replace ppc32's 'local_flags' with the ppc64
'syscall_noerror' field.  The noerror flag was in fact the only thing
in the local_flags field anyway, so the ppc64 approach is simpler, and
means we only need a load-immediate/store instead of load/mask/store
when clearing the flag.
	- In readiness for 64k pages, when THREAD_SIZE will be less
than a page, ppc64 used kmalloc() rather than get_free_pages() to
allocate the kernel stack.  With this patch we do the same for ppc32,
since there's no strong reason not to.
	- For ppc64, we no longer export THREAD_SHIFT and THREAD_SIZE
via asm-offsets, thread_info.h can now be safely included in asm, as
on ppc32.

Built and booted on G4 Powerbook (ARCH=ppc and ARCH=powerpc) and
Power5 (ARCH=ppc64 and ARCH=powerpc).
