This adds a skeletton for the new Power "Non Virtualized"
platform which will be used by machines supporting running
without an hypervisor, for example in order to run KVM.
These machines will be using a new firmware called OPAL
for which the support will be provided by later patches.
The PowerNV platform is intended to be also usable under
the BML environment used internally for early CPU bringup
which is why the code also supports using RTAS instead of
OPAL in various places.

There is one place in the MPIC driver that assumes that the cores are numbered
from 0 to n-1. However, this is not true if the CPUs are not numbered
sequentially. This can happen on a eight-core SOC where cores two and three
are removed in the device tree. So instead of blindly looping, we iterate
over the discovered CPUs and use the SMP ID as the index.
This means that we no longer ask the MPIC how many CPUs there are, so
we also delete mpic->num_cpus.
We also catch if the number of CPUs in the SOC exceeds the number that the
MPIC supports. This should never happen, of course, but it's good to be
sure.

Enable hugepages on Freescale BookE processors. This allows the kernel to
use huge TLB entries to map pages, which can greatly reduce the number of
TLB misses and the amount of TLB thrashing experienced by applications with
large memory footprints. Care should be taken when using this on FSL
processors, as the number of large TLB entries supported by the core is low
(16-64) on current processors.
The supported set of hugepage sizes include 4m, 16m, 64m, 256m, and 1g.
Page sizes larger than the max zone size are called "gigantic" pages and
must be allocated on the command line (and cannot be deallocated).
This is currently only fully implemented for Freescale 32-bit BookE
processors, but there is some infrastructure in the code for
64-bit BooKE.

* 'stable/bug.fixes' of git://oss.oracle.com/git/kwilk/xen:
xen/i386: follow-up to "replace order-based range checking of M2P table by linear one"
xen/irq: Alter the locking to use a mutex instead of a spinlock.
xen/e820: if there is no dom0_mem=, don't tweak extra_pages.
xen: disable PV spinlocks on HVM
On x86-64, they were just wasteful: with the explicitly added (now
unnecessary) padding, the size of the alternatives structure was 16
bytes, and an alignment of 8 bytes didn't hurt much.
However, it was still silly, since the natural size and alignment for
the structure is actually just 12 bytes, 4-byte aligned since commit
59e97e4d6f ("x86: Make alternative instruction pointers relative").
So removing the padding, and removing the extra alignment is just a good
idea.
On x86-32, the alignment of 4 bytes was correct, but was incorrectly
hardcoded as 8 bytes in <asm/alternative-asm.h>. That header file had
used to be an x86-64 only header file, but various unification efforts
have made it be used for x86-32 too (ie the unification of rwlock and
rwsem).
That in turn caused x86-32 boot failures, because the extra alignment
would result in random zero-filled words in the altinstructions section,
causing oopses early at boot when doing alternative instruction
replacement.
So just remove all the alignment noise entirely. It's wrong, and it's
unnecessary. The section itself is already properly aligned by the
linker scripts, and all additions to the section had better be of the
proper 12-byte format, keeping it aligned. So if the align directive
were to ever make a difference, that would be an indication of a serious
bug to begin with.

Some time ago Jeff prepared 42daba3165 ("uml: stop saving process FP
state") for UML to stop saving the process FP state between task
switches. The assumption was that since with SKAS0 every guest process
runs inside a host process context the host OS will take care of keeping
the proper FP state.
Unfortunately this is not true for multi-threaded applications, where
all guest threads share a single host process context yet all may use
the FPU on their own. Although I haven't verified it I suspect things
to be even worse in SKAS3 mode where all guest processes run inside a
single host process.
The patch reintroduces the saving and restoring of the FP context
between task switches.

The patch "xen: use maximum reservation to limit amount of usable RAM"
(d312ae878b) breaks machines that
do not use 'dom0_mem=' argument with:
reserve RAM buffer: 000000133f2e2000 - 000000133fffffff
(XEN) mm.c:4976:d0 Global bit is set to kernel page fffff8117e
(XEN) domain_crash_sync called from entry.S
(XEN) Domain 0 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#0:
...
The reason being that the last E820 entry is created using the
'extra_pages' (which is based on how many pages have been freed).
The mentioned git commit sets the initial value of 'extra_pages'
using a hypercall which returns the number of pages (if dom0_mem
has been used) or -1 otherwise. If the later we return with
MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES as basis for calculation:
return min(max_pages, MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES);
and use it:
extra_limit = xen_get_max_pages();
if (extra_limit >= max_pfn)
extra_pages = extra_limit - max_pfn;
else
extra_pages = 0;
which means we end up with extra_pages = 128GB in PFNs (33554432)
- 8GB in PFNs (2097152, on this specific box, can be larger or smaller),
and then we add that value to the E820 making it:
Xen: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)
Xen: 0000000100000000 - 000000133f2e2000 (usable)
which is clearly wrong. It should look as so:
Xen: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)
Xen: 0000000100000000 - 000000027fbda000 (usable)
Naturally this problem does not present itself if dom0_mem=max:X
is used.
