The ans-lcd driver got the cycle_kernel_lock() in anslcd_open() from
the BKL pushdown and it still uses the locked ioctl.
The BKL serialization in this driver is more than obscure and
definitely does not cover all possible corner cases. Protect the
access to the hardware with a local mutex and get rid of BKL and
locked ioctl.

To build arch/powerpc without including asm-ppc/ we need these files
in asm-powerpc/
Moved some headers under arch/powerpc/platforms if they were only used by
platform or driver files and fixed up the source file includes to match
the new locations

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Here is a new patch that removes all notion of the pmac, prep,
chrp and openfirmware initialization sections, and then unifies
the sections.h files without those __pmac, etc, sections identifiers
cluttering things up.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
