This patch provides an extended_cede_processor() helper function
which takes the cede latency hint as an argument. This hint is to be passed
on to the hypervisor to cede to the corresponding state on platforms
which support it.

This is a random collection of added ifdef's around portions of
code that only mak sense on server processors. Using either
CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64 or CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S as seems appropriate.
This is meant to make the future merging of Book3E 64-bit support
easier.

PHYP tells us how often a shared processor dispatch changed physical cpus.
This can highlight performance problems caused by the hypervisor.

PAPR v2.3 defines fields in the virtual processor area for a dispatch
trace log (DLT). Since we'd like to use the DLT, add the necessary
fields to struct lppaca.

The page_ins member ends at byte 0x3, not 0x4. Also, fix up the
alignment.

A new field has been added to the VPA as a method for the client OS to
communicate to firmware the number of page-ins it is performing when
running collaborative memory overcommit. The hypervisor will use this
information to better determine if a partition is experiencing memory
pressure and needs more memory allocated to it.

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.
