prod_processor() is unused, and that's a good thing, since it does not
supply the required proc id parameter to H_PROD.

On Power machines supporting VRMA, Kexec/Kdump does not work.
VRMA (virtual real-mode area) means that accesses with IR/DR = 0
(i.e. the MMU "off") actually still go through the hash table,
using entries put there by the hypervisor.
This means that when we clear out the hash table on kexec, we need to
make sure these entries are left untouched.
This also adds plpar_pte_read_raw() on the lines of
plpar_pte_remove_raw().

kexec invokes plpar_hcall hypervisor call in real mode. plpar_hcall
refers to per cpu variables for accounting hypervisor statistics.
These variables may not be in the RMO region, so accesses to them
in real mode may result in a data storage exception.
This fixes this problem by using a new plpar_hcall_raw function which
does not update the hypervisor call statistics. Thanks to Anton for
suggesting this idea.

This adds a shadow buffer for the SLBs and regsiters it with PHYP.
Only the bolted SLB entries (top 3) are shadowed.
The SLB shadow buffer tells the hypervisor what the kernel needs to
have in the SLB for the kernel to be able to function. The hypervisor
can use this information to speed up partition context switches.

Our pseries hcall interfaces are out of control:
plpar_hcall_norets
plpar_hcall
plpar_hcall_8arg_2ret
plpar_hcall_4out
plpar_hcall_7arg_7ret
plpar_hcall_9arg_9ret
Create 3 interfaces to cover all cases:
plpar_hcall_norets: 7 arguments no returns
plpar_hcall: 6 arguments 4 returns
plpar_hcall9: 9 arguments 9 returns
There are only 2 cases in the kernel that need plpar_hcall9, hopefully
we can keep it that way.
Pass in a buffer to stash return parameters so we avoid the &dummy1,
&dummy2 madness.

Define ppc_md.set_dabr for both 32 + 64 bit. Cleanup the implementation for
pSeries also, it was needlessly complex. Now we just do two firmware tests at
setup time, and use one of two functions, rather than using one function and
testing on every call.

register_vpa() doesn't actually do a VPA register call it just uses the flags
you pass it, so rename it to vpa_call() to be clearer.
We can then define register_vpa() and unregister_vpa() which are both simple
wrappers around vpa_call(). (we'll need unregister_vpa() for kexec soon)
We can then cleanup vpa_init(), and because vpa_init() is only called from
platforms/pseries we remove the definition in asm-ppc64/smp.h.

Move plpar_wrappers.h into arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries, fixup white space,
and update callers.
