We get the following warnings in various ARCH=powerpc builds:
WARNING: "ee_restarts" [arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in] is COMMON symbol
WARNING: "fee_restarts" [arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in] is COMMON symbol
WARNING: "htab_hash_searches" [arch/powerpc/mm/built-in] is COMMON symbol

WARNING: "global_dbcr0" [arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in] is COMMON symbol
Switch to moving local symbols (except mmu_hash_lock which is global) and
space directive instead.

On hash table based 32 bits powerpc's, the hash management code runs with
a big spinlock. It's thus important that it never causes itself a hash
fault. That code is generally safe (it does memory accesses in real mode
among other things) with the exception of the actual access to the code
itself. That is, the kernel text needs to be accessible without taking
a hash miss exceptions.
This is currently guaranteed by having a BAT register mapping part of the
linear mapping permanently, which includes the kernel text. But this is
not true if using the "nobats" kernel command line option (which can be
useful for debugging) and will not be true when using DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
implemented in a subsequent patch.
This patch fixes this by pre-faulting in the hash table pages that hit
the kernel text, and making sure we never evict such a page under hash
pressure.

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.

Now that the register names and bit definitions are all in reg.h,
use that instead of processor.h in assembly code in a few places.

This doesn't change any code, just renames things so we consistently
have foo_32.c and foo_64.c where we have separate 32- and 64-bit
versions.
