EEH Recovery support routines
This patch adds routines required to help drive the recovery of
EEH-frozen slots. The main function is to drive the PCI #RST
signal line high for a qurter of a second, and then allow for
a second & a half of settle time.

12-eeh-event-dispatcher.patch
ppc64: EEH Recovery dispatcher thread
This patch adds a mechanism to create recovery threads when an
EEH event is received. Since an EEH freeze state may be detected
within an interrupt context, we need to get out of the interrupt
context before starting recovery. This dispatcher does this in
two steps: first, it uses a workqueue to get out, and then
lanuches a kernel thread, so that the recovery routine can
sleep for exteded periods without upseting the keventd.
A kernel thread is created with each EEH event, rather than
having one long-running daemon started at boot time. This is
because it is anticipated that EEH events will be very rare
(very very rare, ideally) and so its pointless to cluter the
process tables with a daemon that will almost never run.

Make some changes to the NEED_RESCHED and POLLING_NRFLAG to reduce
confusion, and make their semantics rigid. Improves efficiency of
resched_task and some cpu_idle routines.
* In resched_task:
- TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the task's runqueue lock held,
and as we hold it during resched_task, then there is no need for an
atomic test and set there. The only other time this should be set is
when the task's quantum expires, in the timer interrupt - this is
protected against because the rq lock is irq-safe.
- If TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, then we don't need to do anything. It
won't get unset until the task get's schedule()d off.
- If we are running on the same CPU as the task we resched, then set
TIF_NEED_RESCHED and no further action is required.
- If we are running on another CPU, and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is *not* set
after TIF_NEED_RESCHED has been set, then we need to send an IPI.
Using these rules, we are able to remove the test and set operation in
resched_task, and make clear the previously vague semantics of
POLLING_NRFLAG.
* In idle routines:
- Enter cpu_idle with preempt disabled. When the need_resched() condition
becomes true, explicitly call schedule(). This makes things a bit clearer
(IMO), but haven't updated all architectures yet.
- Many do a test and clear of TIF_NEED_RESCHED for some reason. According
to the resched_task rules, this isn't needed (and actually breaks the
assumption that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the runqueue lock
held). So remove that. Generally one less locked memory op when switching
to the idle thread.
- Many idle routines clear TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG, and only set it in the inner
most polling idle loops. The above resched_task semantics allow it to be
set until before the last time need_resched() is checked before going into
a halt requiring interrupt wakeup.
Many idle routines simply never enter such a halt, and so POLLING_NRFLAG
can be always left set, completely eliminating resched IPIs when rescheduling
the idle task.
POLLING_NRFLAG width can be increased, to reduce the chance of resched IPIs.

Run idle threads with preempt disabled.
Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()).
How did it ever work before?
Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted.
We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking
need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined.
After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and
into the idle thread and goes to sleep. The CPU will continue executing
previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead.
By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is
fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.

Define ppc_md.set_dabr for both 32 + 64 bit. Cleanup the implementation for
pSeries also, it was needlessly complex. Now we just do two firmware tests at

testing on every call.

Mostly this involves adding #include <asm/smp.h>, since that defines
things like boot_cpuid[_phys] and [gs]et_hard_smp_processor_id, which
are SMP-related but still needed on UP. This incorporates fixes

The ancient ppcdebug/PPCDBG mechanism is now only used in two places.
First, in the hash setup code, one of the bits allows the size of the
hash table to be reduced by a factor of 8 - which would be better
accomplished with a command line option for that purpose. The other
was a bunch of bus walking related messages in the iSeries code, which
would seem to be insufficient reason to keep the mechanism.
This patch removes the last traces of this mechanism.
Built and booted on iSeries and pSeries POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc).

Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel
base page size to 64K. The resulting kernel still boots on any
hardware. On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel
will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently.
Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch
will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm
still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the
information from the newer hypervisors.

register_vpa() doesn't actually do a VPA register call it just uses the flags
you pass it, so rename it to vpa_call() to be clearer.
We can then define register_vpa() and unregister_vpa() which are both simple
wrappers around vpa_call(). (we'll need unregister_vpa() for kexec soon)
We can then cleanup vpa_init(), and because vpa_init() is only called from
platforms/pseries we remove the definition in asm-ppc64/smp.h.

This patch moves the XICS interrupt controller code into the

case to remove pSeries specific assumptions.

This splits arch/ppc64/kernel/rtas.c into arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c,
which contains generic RTAS functions useful on any CHRP platform,
and arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/rtas-fw.[ch], which contain
some pSeries-specific firmware flashing bits. The parts of rtas.c
that are to do with pSeries-specific error logging are protected
by a new CONFIG_RTAS_ERROR_LOGGING symbol. The inclusion of rtas.o
is controlled by the CONFIG_PPC_RTAS symbol, and the relevant
platforms select that.

This changes the parameters for i8259_init so that it takes two
parameters: a physical address for generating an interrupt
acknowledge cycle, and an interrupt number offset. i8259_init
now sets the irq_desc[] for its interrupts; all the callers
were doing this, and that code is gone now. This also defines
a CONFIG_PPC_I8259 symbol to select i8259.o for inclusion, and
makes the platforms that need it select that symbol.

A few things change for consistency between ppc32 and ppc64:
idle functions return void; *_get_boot_time functions return
unsigned long (i.e. time_t) rather than filling in a struct rtc_time
(since that's useful to the callers and easier for pmac to
generate); *_get_rtc_time and *_set_rtc_time functions take
a struct rtc_time; irq_canonicalize is gone; nvram_sync returns
void.

This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch
of Kconfig files. It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm,
arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac. This is enough
to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc.
For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and
arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel. This makes some minor changes
to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc.
The boot directory is still not merged. That's going to be interesting.
