Remove the pSeries_reconfig.h header file. At this point there is only one
definition in the file, pSeries_coalesce_init(), which can be
moved to rtas.h.

This patch moves the notification chain for updates to the device tree
from the powerpc/pseries code to the base OF code. This makes this
functionality available to all architectures.
Additionally the notification chain is updated to allow notifications
for property add/remove/update. To make this work a pointer to a new
struct (of_prop_reconfig) is passed to the routines in the notification chain.
The of_prop_reconfig property contains a pointer to the node containing the
property and a pointer to the property itself. In the case of property
updates, the property pointer refers to the new property.

This adds an update notifier mechanism for changes to properties in the
device tree. One use of this would be a device driver that needs to act
on changes to it's properties in the device tree after a live migration
or a dynamic activation that is triggered by updates to ofdt properties.

This introduces pSeries_reconfig_notify() as a just wrapper of
blocking_notifier_call_chain() for pSeries_reconfig_chain.
This is a preparation to improvement of error code on reconfiguration
notifier failure.

Adds support for page coalescing, which is a feature on IBM Power servers
which allows for coalescing identical pages between logical partitions.
Hint text pages as coalesce candidates, since they are the most likely
pages to be able to be coalesced between partitions. This patch also
exports some page coalescing statistics available from firmware via
lparcfg.

The Dynamic Logical Partitioning capabilities of the powerpc pseries platform
allows for the addition and removal of resources (i.e. CPU's, memory, and PCI
devices) from a partition. The removal of a resource involves
removing the resource's node from the device tree and then returning the
resource to firmware via the rtas set-indicator call. To add a resource, it
is first obtained from firmware via the rtas set-indicator call and then a
new device tree node is created using the ibm,configure-coinnector rtas call
and added to the device tree.
This patch provides the kernel DLPAR infrastructure in a new filed named
dlpar.c. The functionality provided is for acquiring and releasing a resource
from firmware and the parsing of information returned from the
ibm,configure-connector rtas call. Additionally this exports the pSeries
reconfiguration notifier chain so that it can be invoked when device tree
updates are made.

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a
mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm
Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
