Doing a "SUNW,stop-self" firmware call on the other cpus is not the
correct thing to do when dropping into the firmware for a halt,
reboot, or power-off.

For now, just do nothing to quiet the other cpus, as the system should
be quiescent enough.  Later we may decide to implement smp_send_stop()
like the other SMP platforms do.

Based upon a report from Christopher Zimmermann.

The hairy fast allocator in the sparc64 PCI IOMMU code
has a hard limit of 256 pages.  Certain devices can
exceed this when performing very large I/Os.

So replace with a more simple allocator, based largely
upon the arch/ppc64/kernel/iommu.c code.

The sequence to move over to the Linux trap tables from
the firmware ones needs to be more air tight.  It turns
out that to be %100 safe we do need to be able to translate
OBP mappings in our TLB miss handlers early.

In order not to eat up a lot of kernel image memory with
static page tables, just use the translations array in
the OBP TLB miss handlers.  That solves the bulk of the
problem.

Furthermore, to make sure the OBP TLB miss path will work
even before the fixed MMU globals are loaded, explicitly
load %g1 to TLB_SFSR at the beginning of the i-TLB and
d-TLB miss handlers.

To ease the OBP TLB miss walking of the prom_trans[] array,
we sort it then delete all of the non-OBP entries in there
(for example, there are entries for the kernel image itself
which we're not interested in at all).

We also save about 32K of kernel image size with this change.
Not a bad side effect :-)

There are still some reasons why trampoline.S can't use the
setup_trap_table() yet.  The most noteworthy are:

1) OBP boots secondary processors with non-bias'd stack for
   some reason.  This is easily fixed by using a small bootup
   stack in the kernel image explicitly for this purpose.

2) Doing a firmware call via the normal C call prom_set_trap_table()
   goes through the whole OBP enter/exit sequence that saves and
   restores OBP and Linux kernel state in the MMUs.  This path
   unfortunately does a "flush %g6" while loading up the OBP locked
   TLB entries for the firmware call.

   If we setup the %g6 in the trampoline.S code properly, that
   is in the PAGE_OFFSET linear mapping, but we're not on the
   kernel trap table yet so those addresses won't translate properly.

   One idea is to do a by-hand firmware call like we do in the
   early bootup code and elsewhere here in trampoline.S  But this
   fails as well, as aparently the secondary processors are not
   booted with OBP's special locked TLB entries loaded.  These
   are necessary for the firwmare to processes TLB misses correctly
   up until the point where we take over the trap table.

This does need to be resolved at some point.

We were not doing alignment properly when remapping the kernel image.

What we want is a 4MB aligned physical address to map at KERNBASE.
Mistakedly we were 4MB aligning the virtual address where the kernel
initially sits, that's wrong.

Instead, we should PAGE align the virtual address, then 4MB align the
physical address result the prom gives to us.

On the boot processor, we need to do the move onto the Linux trap
table a little bit differently else we'll take unhandlable faults in
the firmware address space.

Previously we would do the following:

1) Disable PSTATE_IE in %pstate.
2) Set %tba by hand to sparc64_ttable_tl0
3) Initialize alternate, mmu, and interrupt global
   trap registers.
4) Call prom_set_traptable()

That doesn't work very well actually with the way we boot the kernel
VM these days.  It worked by luck on many systems because the firmware
accesses for the prom_set_traptable() call happened to be loaded into
the TLB already, something we cannot assume.

So the new scheme is this:

1) Clear PSTATE_IE in %pstate and set %pil to 15
2) Call prom_set_traptable()
3) Initialize alternate, mmu, and interrupt global
   trap registers.

and this works quite well.  This sequence has been moved into a
callable function in assembler named setup-trap_table().  The idea is
that eventually trampoline.S can use this code as well.  That isn't
possible currently due to some complications, but eventually we should
be able to do it.

Thanks to Meelis Roos for the Ultra5 boot failure report.

By allocating early memory for the firmware page tables, we
can write over the beginning of the initrd image.

So what we do now is:

1) Read in firmware translations table while still on the
   firmware's trap table.
2) Switch to Linux trap table.
3) Init bootmem.
4) Build firmware page tables using __alloc_bootmem().

And this keeps the initrd from being clobbered.
