We currently turn interrupts back to their previous state before
calling do_page_fault(). This can be annoying when debugging as
a bad fault will potentially have lost some processor state before
getting into the debugger.
We also end up calling some generic code with interrupts enabled
such as notify_page_fault() with interrupts enabled, which could
be unexpected.
This changes our code to behave more like other architectures,
and make the assembly entry code call into do_page_faults() with
interrupts disabled. They are conditionally re-enabled from
within do_page_fault() in the same spot x86 does it.
While there, add the might_sleep() test in the case of a successful
trylock of the mmap semaphore, again like x86.
Also fix a bug in the existing assembly where r12 (_MSR) could get
clobbered by C calls (the DTL accounting in the exception common
macro and DISABLE_INTS) in some cases.

v2. Add the r12 clobber fix
u64 is used rather than phys_addr_t to keep things simple, as
this is called from assembly code.
Update callers to pass a 64-bit address in r3/r4. Other unused
register assignments that were once parameters to machine_init
are dropped.
For FSL BookE, look up the physical address of the device tree from the
effective address passed in r3 by the loader. This is required for
situations where memory does not start at zero (due to AMP or IOMMU-less
virtualization), and thus the IMA doesn't start at zero, and thus the
device tree effective address does not equal the physical address.

Update the TLB asm to make proper use of _PAGE_DIRY and _PAGE_ACCESSED.
Get rid of _PAGE_HWWRITE too.
Pros:
- I/D TLB Miss never needs to write to the linux pte.
- _PAGE_ACCESSED is only set on TLB Error fixing accounting
- _PAGE_DIRTY is mapped to 0x100, the changed bit, and is set directly
when a page has been made dirty.
- Proper RO/RW mapping of user space.
- Free up 2 SW TLB bits in the linux pte(add back _PAGE_WRITETHRU ?)
- kernel RO/user NA support.
Cons:
- A few more instructions in the TLB Miss routines.

The kernel uses SPRG registers for various purposes, typically in
low level assembly code as scratch registers or to hold per-cpu
global infos such as the PACA or the current thread_info pointer.
We want to be able to easily shuffle the usage of those registers
as some implementations have specific constraints realted to some
of them, for example, some have userspace readable aliases, etc..
and the current choice isn't always the best.
This patch should not change any code generation, and replaces the
usage of SPRN_SPRGn everywhere in the kernel with a named replacement
and adds documentation next to the definition of the names as to
what those are used for on each processor family.
The only parts that still use the original numbers are bits of KVM
or suspend/resume code that just blindly needs to save/restore all
the SPRGs.

The CPU15 erratum on MPC8xx chips can cause incorrect code execution
under certain circumstances, where there is a conditional or indirect
branch in the last word of a page, with a target in the last cache line
of the next page. This patch implements one of the suggested
workarounds, by forcing a TLB miss whenever execution crosses a page
boundary. This is done by invalidating the pages before and after the
one being loaded into the TLB in the ITLB miss handler.

This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch
of Kconfig files. It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm,
arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac. This is enough
to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc.
For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and
arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel. This makes some minor changes
to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc.
The boot directory is still not merged. That's going to be interesting.
