This has not been any serious user of this ill conceived thing since the
original invention in like '95.

This is an optimised implementation of early printk() for the DECstation.
After the recent conversion to a MIPS-specific generic routine using a
character-by-character output the performance dropped significantly.
This change reverts to the previous speed -- even at 9600 bps of the
serial console the difference is visible with a naked eye; I presume for a
framebuffer it is even worse (it may depend on exactly which one is used
though).
Additionally the change includes a fix for a problem that the old
implementation had -- the format used would not actually limit the length
of the string output. This new implementation uses a local buffer to deal
with it -- even with this additional copying it is much faster than the
generic function.
Plus this driver is registered much earlier than the generic one,
allowing one to see critical messages, such as one about an incorrect CPU
setting used, that are produced beforehand. :-)

Many Makefiles in arch/mips have EXTRA_AFLAGS := $(CFLAGS) line. This
is redundant while AFLAGS contains $(cflags-y) and any options only
listed in CFLAGS (not in cflags-y) should be unnecessary for asm
sources.

This is the platform-specific part of TURBOchannel bus support for the
DECstation. It implements determining whether the bus is actually there,
getting bus parameters, IRQ assignments for devices and protected accesses
to possibly unoccupied slots that may trigger bus error exceptions.

Current prom_free_prom_memory() implementations are almost same as
free_init_pages(), or no-op. Make free_init_pages() extern (again)
and make prom_free_prom_memory() use it.

set_page_count usage outside mm/ is limited to setting the refcount to 1.
Remove set_page_count from outside mm/, and replace those users with
init_page_count() and set_page_refcounted().
This allows more debug checking, and tighter control on how code is allowed
to play around with page->_count.

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!
