Benjamin Herrenschmidt 3c726f8dee [PATCH] ppc64: support 64k pages
Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel
base page size to 64K.  The resulting kernel still boots on any
hardware.  On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel
will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently.

Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch
will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm
still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the
information from the newer hypervisors.

Paul Mackerras 9b6b563c0d powerpc: Merge in the ppc64 version of the prom code.
This brings in the ppc64 version of prom_init.c, prom.c and btext.c
and makes them work for ppc32.  This also brings in the new calling
convention, where the first entry to the kernel (with r5 != 0) goes
to the prom_init code, which then restarts from the beginning (with
r5 == 0) after it has done its stuff.

For now this also brings in the ppc32 version of setup.c.  It also
merges lmb.h.

Kumar Gala 400d221274 [PATCH] ppc32: make cur_cpu_spec a single pointer instead of an array
Changed ppc32 so that cur_cpu_spec is just a single pointer for all CPUs.
Additionally, made call_setup_cpu check to see if the cpu_setup pointer
is NULL or not before calling the function.  This lets remove the dummy
cpu_setup calls that just return.

Kumar Gala 10b35d9978 [PATCH] powerpc: merged asm/cputable.h
Merged cputable.h between ppc32 and ppc64.  In doing this removed support
for the BEGIN_FTR_SECTION/END_FTR_SECTION macros in C code since they
dont compile correctly.  C code should use cpu_has_feature().  This is
based on Arnd Bergmann's initial patch.
