Arnd Bergmann ae209cf100 [PATCH] ppc64: Add driver for BPA iommu
Implementation of software load support for the BE iommu. This is very
different from other iommu code on ppc64, since we only do a static mapping.
The mapping is currently hardcoded but should really be read from the
firmware, but they don't set up the device nodes yet. There is a single
512MB DMA window for PCI, USB and ethernet at 0x20000000 for our RAM.

The Cell processor can put the I/O page table either in memory like
the hashed page table (hardware load) or have the operating system
write the entries into memory mapped CPU registers (software load).

I use the software load mechanism because I know that all I/O page
table entries for the amount of installed physical memory fit into
the IO TLB cache. At the point when we get machines with more than
4GB of installed memory, we can either use hardware I/O page table
access like the other platforms do or dynamically update the I/O
TLB entries when a page fault occurs in the I/O subsystem.

The software load can then use the macros that I have implemented
for the static mapping in order to do the TLB cache updates.

Arnd Bergmann cebf589c82 [PATCH] ppc64: Add driver for BPA interrupt controllers
Add support for the integrated interrupt controller on BPA
CPUs. There is one of those for each SMT thread.

The mapping of interrupt numbers to HW interrupt sources
is described in arch/ppc64/kernel/bpa_iic.h.

This version hardcodes the 'Spider' chip as the secondary
interrupt controller. That is not really generic for the
architecture, but at the moment it is the only secondary
PIC that exists.

A little more work will be needed on this as soon as
we have boards with multiple external interrupt controllers.

Arnd Bergmann fef1c772fa [PATCH] ppc64: add BPA platform type
This adds the basic support for running on BPA machines.
So far, this is only the IBM workstation, and it will
not run on others without a little more generalization.

It should be possible to configure a kernel for any
combination of CONFIG_PPC_BPA with any of the other
multiplatform targets.
