Michael Ellerman e7a57273c6 powerpc: Allow create_branch() to return errors
Currently create_branch() creates a branch instruction for you, and
patches it into the call site.  In some circumstances it would be nice
to be able to create the instruction and patch it later, and also some
code might want to check for errors in the branch creation before
doing the patching.  A future commit will change create_branch() to
check for errors.

For callers that don't care, replace create_branch() with
patch_branch(), which just creates the branch and patches it directly.

While we're touching all the callers, change to using unsigned int *,
as this seems to match usage better.  That allows (and requires) us to
remove the volatile in the definition of vector in powermac/smp.c and
mpc86xx_smp.c, that's correct because now that we're passing vector as
an unsigned int * the compiler knows that it's value might change
across the patch_branch() call.

Michael Ellerman aaddd3eaca powerpc: Move code patching code into arch/powerpc/lib/code-patching.c
We currently have a few routines for patching code in asm/system.h, because
they didn't fit anywhere else. I'd like to clean them up a little and add
some more, so first move them into a dedicated C file - they don't need to
be inlined.

While we're moving the code, drop create_function_call(), it's intended
caller never got merged and will be replaced in future with something
different.

David Gibson f1a1eb299a [POWERPC] Further fixes for the removal of 4level-fixup hack from ppc32
Commit d1953c8888 removed the use of
4level-fixup.h for 32-bit systems under arch/powerpc.  However, I
missed a few things activated on some configurations, resulting in
some warnings (at least with STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS enabled) and build
errors in some circumstances.  This fixes it.

Jiri Kosina f79ce995d0 [POWERPC] 86xx: local_irq_disable() is redundant after local_irq_save()
arch/powerpc/platforms/86xx/mpc86xx_smp.c::smp_86xx_kick_cpu() contains
local_irq_disable() call after local_irq_save(). This looks
redundant.
