GCC 4.4.x looks to be adding support for generating out-of-line register
saves/restores based on:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-04/msg01678.html
This breaks the kernel if we enable CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. To fix
this we add the use the save/restore code from gcc and simplified it down
for our needs (integer only).
Additionally, we have to link this code into each module. The other
solution was to add EXPORT_SYMBOL() which meant going through the
trampoline which seemed nonsensical for these out-of-line routines.
Finally, we add some checks to prom_init_check.sh to ignore the
out-of-line save/restore functions.

The pattern substitution rules were failing when used with zImage-dtb
targets. If zImage-dtb.initrd was selected, the pattern substitution
would generate "zImage.initrd-dtb" instead of "zImage-dtb.initrd" which
caused the build to fail.
This renames zImage-dtb to dtbImage to avoid the problem entirely.
By not using the zImage prefix then is no potential for namespace

Currently, the kernel uses CONFIG_DEVICE_TREE to wrap a kernel image
with a fdt blob which means for any given configuration only one dts
file can be selected and so support for only one board can be built
This moves the selection of the default .dts file out of the kernel
config and into the bootwrapper makefile. The makefile chooses which
images to build based on the kernel config and the dts source file
name is taken directly from the image name. For example "cuImage.ebony"
will use "ebony.dts" as the device tree source file.
In addition, this patch allows a specific image to be requested from the
command line by adding "cuImage.%" and "treeImage.%" targets to the list
of valid built targets in arch/powerpc/Makefile. This allows the default
dts selection to be overridden.
Another advantage to this change is it allows a single defconfig to be
supplied for all boards using the same chip family and only differing in
the device tree.
Important note: This patch adds two new zImage targets; zImage.dtb.% and
zImage.dtb.initrd.% for zImages with embedded dtb files. Currently
there are 5 platforms which require this: ps3, ep405, mpc885ads, ep88xc,
adder875-redboot and ep8248e. This patch *changes the zImage filenames*
for those platforms. ie. 'zImage.ps3' is now 'zImage.dtb.ps3'.
This new zImage.dtb targets were added so that the .dts file could be
part of the dependancies list for building them.

Newer GCC's are capable of autovectorization for ISA extensions like
AltiVec and SPE. If we happen to build with one of those compilers we
will get SPE instructions in random kernel code. Today we only allow
basic interger code in the kernel and FP, AltiVec, or SPE in special
explicit locations that have handled the proper saving and restoring of
the register state (since on uniprocessor we lazy context switch the
register state for FP, AltiVec, and SPE).
-mno-spe disables the compiler for automatically generating SPE
instructions without our knowledge.

The trick for finding the right defconfig is neat, but you forgot to
provide an i686_defconfig. ;-)
More seriously, cross compiling the defconfig is often useful, e.g. for
testing the compilation of patches that touch multiple architectures,
and this patch therefore chooses g5_defconfig if $(CROSS_COMPILE) is
non-empty.

Add 'zImage.dts' and 'zImage.dts_initrd' build rules that automatically

The resulting zImage will be arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.dts.<platform> and
arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.dts_initrd.<platform>, respectively.
Having separate rules allows the user to choose whether to include a device
tree--and which device tree--at build time. This is useful when one Makefile
target builds a zImage that runs on several platforms except for differing
device trees. By just setting CONFIG_DEVICE_TREE and running "make zImage.dts"
the exact zImage you want is built without Makefile bloat or manually running
the wrapper script.
The dts file is expected to be arch/powerpc/boot/dts/$(CONFIG_DEVICE_TREE)

This puts the knowledge of how to create various sorts of zImage
wrappers into a script called "wrapper" that could be used outside of
the kernel tree. This changes arch/powerpc/boot so it first builds
the files that the wrapper script needs, then runs it to create
whatever flavours of zImage are required.
This version does uImages as well. The zImage names are changed
slightly; zImage.pseries is the one with the PT_NOTE program header
entry added, and zImage.pmac is the one without. If the
zImage.pseries gets made, it will also get hardlinked to zImage;
otherwise, if zImage.pmac is made, it gets hardlinked to zImage.

The kbuild system takes advantage of an incorrect behavior in GNU make.
Once this behavior is fixed, all files in the kernel rebuild every time,
even if nothing has changed. This patch ensures kbuild works with both
the incorrect and correct behaviors of GNU make.
For more details on the incorrect behavior, see:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2006-03/msg00003.html
Changes in this patch:
- Keep all targets that are to be marked .PHONY in a variable, PHONY.
- Add .PHONY: $(PHONY) to mark them properly.
- Remove any $(PHONY) files from the $? list when determining whether
targets are up-to-date or not.
