This patch makes pseries_idle_driver not to be registered when
power_save=off kernel boot option is specified. The
cpuidle_disable variable used here is similar to
its usage on x86. If cpuidle_disable is set then
sysfs entries for cpuidle framework are not created
and the required drivers are not loaded.

This patch provides cpu_idle_wait() routine for the powerpc
platform which is required by the cpuidle subsystem. This
routine is required to change the idle handler on SMP systems.
The equivalent routine for x86 is in arch/x86/kernel/process.c
but the powerpc implementation is different.
cpuidle_disable variable is to enable/disable cpuidle
framework if power_save option is set during the boot
time.

We expect this is actually faster, and we end up needing more space than we
can get from the SPRGs in some instances. This is also useful when running
as a guest OS - SPRGs4-7 do not have guest versions.
8 slots are allocated in thread_info for this even though we only actually
use 4 of them - this allows space for future code to have more scratch
space (and we know we'll need it for things like hugetlb).

The DSCR (aka Data Stream Control Register) is supported on some
server PowerPC chips and allow some control over the prefetch
of data streams.
This patch allows the value to be specified per thread by emulating
the corresponding mfspr and mtspr instructions. Children of such
threads inherit the value. Other threads use a default value that
can be specified in sysfs - /sys/devices/system/cpu/dscr_default.
If a thread starts with non default value in the sysfs entry,
all children threads inherit this non default value even if
the sysfs value is changed later.

The __KERNEL__ ifdef isn't necessary at this point, because it is
checked in an outer ifdef level already and has no effect here.

Implement perf-events based hw-breakpoint interfaces for PowerPC
64-bit server (Book III S) processors. This allows access to a
given location to be used as an event that can be counted or
profiled by the perf_events subsystem.
This is done using the DABR (data breakpoint register), which can
also be used for process debugging via ptrace. When perf_event
hw_breakpoint support is configured in, the perf_event subsystem
manages the DABR and arbitrates access to it, and ptrace then
creates a perf_event when it is requested to set a data breakpoint.
[Adopted suggestions from Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> to
- emulate_step() all system-wide breakpoints and single-step only the
per-task breakpoints
- perform arch-specific cleanup before unregistration through
arch_unregister_hw_breakpoint()

We need to keep the pointer to the shadow vcpu somewhere accessible from
within really early interrupt code. The best fit I found was the thread
struct, as that resides in an SPRG.
So let's put a pointer to the shadow vcpu in the thread struct and add
an asm-offset so we can find it.

On powerpc64 machines running 32-bit userspace, we can get garbage bits in the
stack pointer passed into the kernel. Most places handle this correctly, but
the signal handling code uses the passed value directly for allocating signal
stack frames.
This fixes the issue by introducing a get_clean_sp function that returns a
sanitized stack pointer. For 32-bit tasks on a 64-bit kernel, the stack
pointer is masked correctly. In all other cases, the stack pointer is simply
returned.
Additionally, we pass an 'is_32' parameter to get_sigframe now in order to
get the properly sanitized stack. The callers are know to be 32 or 64-bit
statically.

This patch add the handlers of SPE/EFP exceptions.
The code is used to emulate float point arithmetic,
when MSR(SPE) is enabled and receive EFP data interrupt or EFP round interrupt.
This patch has no conflict with or dependence on FP math-emu.
The code has been tested by TestFloat.
Now the code doesn't support SPE/EFP instructions emulation
(it won't be called when receive program interrupt),
but it could be easily added.

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.
