<title>[POWERPC] Change rheap functions to use ulongs instead of pointers</title>

<id>4c35630ccda56ed494f6102d2e147fefe14b78d2</id>
<content type='text'>
The rheap allocation functions return a pointer, but the actual value is based
on how the heap was initialized, and so it can be anything, e.g. an offset
into a buffer.  A ulong is a better representation of the value returned by
the allocation functions.

This patch changes all of the relevant rheap functions to use a unsigned long
integers instead of a pointer.  In case of an error, the value returned is
a negative error code that has been cast to an unsigned long.  The caller can
use the IS_ERR_VALUE() macro to check for this.

All code which calls the rheap functions is updated accordingly.  Macros
IS_MURAM_ERR() and IS_DPERR(), have been deleted in favor of IS_ERR_VALUE().

Also added error checking to rh_attach_region().

Now that the strncasecmp implementation takes a size_t third parameter,
we need to get a definition of size_t from somewhere.

Match, Linus's fix to arch/powerpc in arch/ppc. strcasecmp takes a size_t,
not an int, as its third argument.

This patch removes all self references and fixes references to files
in the now defunct arch/ppc64 tree.  I think this accomplises
everything wanted, though there might be a few references I missed.

Several implementations were essentialy a common piece of C code using
the cmpxchg() macro.  Put the implementation in one spot that everyone
can share, and convert sparc64 over to using this.

Alpha is the lone arch-specific implementation, which codes up a
special fast path for the common case in order to avoid GP reloading
which a pure C version would require.
