sparc64 systems have a restriction in that passing in buffer
addressses above 4GB to prom calls is not reliable.

We end up violating this when we do prom console writes, because we
use an on-stack buffer to translate '\n' into '\r\n'.

So instead, do this translation into an intermediate buffer, which is
in the kernel image and thus below 4GB, then pass that to the PROM
console write calls.

On the 32-bit side we don't have to deal with any of these issues, so
the new prom_console_write_buf() uses the existing prom_nbputchar()
implementation.  However we can now mark those routines static.

Since the 64-bit side completely uses new code we can delete the
putchar bits as they are now completely unused.

This gets us closer to being able to eliminate the use
of dynamic and stack based buffers, so that we can adhere
to the "no buffer addresses above 4GB" rule for PROM calls.

<title>sparc64: Fix bootup with mcount in some configs.</title>

Functions invoked early when booting up a cpu can't use
tracing because mcount requires a valid 'current_thread_info()'
and TLB mappings to be setup.

The code path of sun4v_register_mondo_queues --&gt; register_one_mondo
is one such case.  sun4v_register_mondo_queues already has the
necessary 'notrace' annotation, but register_one_mondo does not.

Normally register_one_mondo is inlined so the bug doesn't trigger,
but with some config/compiler combinations, it won't be so we
must properly mark it notrace.

While we're here, add 'notrace' annoations to prom_printf and
prom_halt so that early error handling won't have the same problem.

Use sparc64 version of prom/printf.c.

The only differences for sparc32 is that prom_printf is no longer
exported for modules which should be OK.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
