8dc86ab954 [POWERPC] Change ppc_rtas declaration to weak
Change the definition of powerpc's cond_syscall() to use the standard gcc
weak attribute specifier which provides proper support for C linkage as
needed by spu_syscall_table[].

Fixes this powerpc build error with CONFIG_SPU_FS=y, CONFIG_PPC_RTAS=n:

35af89eb49 [POWERPC] Cleanup zImage handling of kernel entry with flat device tree
This makes 2 changes to clean up the flat device tree handling
logic in the zImage wrapper.

First, there were two callbacks from the dt_ops structure used for
producing a final flat tree to pass to the kerne: dt_ops.ft_pack()
which packed the flat tree (possibly a no-op) and dt_ops.ft_addr()
which retreived the address of the final blob.  Since they were only
ever called together, this patch combines the two into a single new
callback, dt_ops.finalize().  This new callback does whatever
platform-dependent things are necessary to produce a final flat device
tree blob, and returns the blob's addres.

Second, the current logic calls the kernel with a flat device tree if
one is build into the zImage wrapper, otherwise it boots the kernel
with a PROM pointer, expecting the kernel to copy the OF device tree
itself.  This approach precludes the possibility of the platform
wrapper code building a flat device tree from whatever
platform-specific information firmware provides.  Thus, this patch
takes the more sensible approach of invoking the kernel with a flat
tree if the dt_ops.finalize callback provides one (by whatever means).

So, the dt_ops.finalize callback can be NULL, or can be a function
which returns NULL.  In either case, the zImage wrapper logic assumes
that this is a platform with OF and invokes the kernel accordingly.

f79e083c2f [POWERPC] Small clarification of initrd handling
This patch makes the handling of the initrd (or initramfs) in the
zImage wrapper a little easier to follow.  Instead of passing the
initrd addresses out from prep_kernel() via the cryptic a1 and a2
parameters, use the global struct add_range, 'initrd'.  prep_kernel()
already passes information through the 'vmlinux' addr_range struct, so
this seems like a reasonable extension.

Some comments also clarify the logic with prep_kernel(): we use an
initrd included in the zImage if present, otherwise we use an initrd
passed in by the bootloader in the a1 and a2 parameters (yaboot, at
least, uses this mechanism to pass an initrd).

4cb3cee03d [POWERPC] Allow hooking of PCI MMIO & PIO accessors on 64 bits
This patch reworks the way iSeries hooks on PCI IO operations (both MMIO
and PIO) and provides a generic way for other platforms to do so (we
have need to do that for various other platforms).

While reworking the IO ops, I ended up doing some spring cleaning in
io.h and eeh.h which I might want to split into 2 or 3 patches (among
others, eeh.h had a lot of useless stuff in it).

A side effect is that EEH for PIO should work now (it used to pass IO
ports down to the eeh address check functions which is bogus).

Also, new are MMIO "repeat" ops, which other archs like ARM already had,
and that we have too now: readsb, readsw, readsl, writesb, writesw,
writesl.

In the long run, I might also make EEH use the hooks instead
of wrapping at the toplevel, which would make things even cleaner and
relegate EEH completely in platforms/iseries, but we have to measure the
performance impact there (though it's really only on MMIO reads)

Since I also need to hook on ioremap, I shuffled the functions a bit
there. I introduced ioremap_flags() to use by drivers who want to pass
explicit flags to ioremap (and it can be hooked). The old __ioremap() is
still there as a low level and cannot be hooked, thus drivers who use it
should migrate unless they know they want the low level version.

The patch "arch provides generic iomap missing accessors" (should be
number 4 in this series) is a pre-requisite to provide full iomap
API support with this patch.

7eebde700f [POWERPC] Souped-up of_platform_device support
This patch first splits of_device.c and of_platform.c, the later containing
the bits relative to of_platform_device's. On the "breaks" side of things,
drivers uisng of_platform_device(s) need to include asm/of_platform.h now
and of_(un)register_driver is now of_(un)register_platform_driver.

In addition to a few utility functions to locate of_platform_device(s),
the main new addition is of_platform_bus_probe() which allows the platform
code to trigger an automatic creation of of_platform_devices for a whole
tree of devices.

The function acts based on the type of the various "parent" devices encountered
from a provided root, using either a default known list of bus types that can be
"probed" or a passed-in list. It will only register devices on busses matching
that list, which mean that typically, it will not register PCI devices, as
expected (since they will be picked up by the PCI layer).

This will be used by Cell platforms using 4xx-type IOs in the Axon bridge
and can be used by any embedded-type device as well.
