ead53f22dc powerpc: remove non-required uses of include <linux/module.h>
None of the files touched here are modules, and they are not
exporting any symbols either -- so there is no need to be including
the module.h.  Builds of all the files remains successful.

Even kernel/module.c does not need to include it, since it includes
linux/moduleloader.h instead.

66574cc054 modules: make arch's use default loader hooks
This patch removes all the module loader hook implementations in the
architecture specific code where the functionality is the same as that
now provided by the recently added default hooks.

7c6d45e665 powerpc: remove unused variable
Since powerpc uses -Werror on arch powerpc, the build was broken like
this:

  cc1: warnings being treated as errors
  arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c: In function 'module_finalize':
  arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c:66: error: unused variable 'err'

5336377d62 modules: Fix module_bug_list list corruption race
With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code
that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it
possible to do most of the module loading in parallel.

However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code
that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling.  That code was
doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for
dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific
"module_finalize()" rather than from generic code.

Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin
with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the
module loading lock any more.

So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away
from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the
process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations
are now safe.

Future fixups:
 - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it
   belongs.
 - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules
   (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain
   for other reasons.

5933048c69 module: cleanup FIXME comments about trimming exception table entries.
Everyone cut and paste this comment from my original one.  We now do
it generically, so cut the comments.

7c03d653cd powerpc/mm: Introduce MMU features
We're soon running out of CPU features and I need to add some new
ones for various MMU related bits, so this patch separates the MMU
features from the CPU features.  I moved over the 32-bit MMU related
ones, added base features for MMU type families, but didn't move
over any 64-bit only feature yet.

b9754568ef powerpc: Remove dead module_find_bug code
Doing some various "make randconfig", I came across an error when
CONFIG_BUG was not set:

arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c: In function 'module_find_bug':
arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c:111: error: increment of pointer to unknown structure
arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c:111: error: arithmetic on pointer to an incomplete type
arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c:112: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

Looking further into this, I found that module_find_bug, defined in
powerpc arch code, is not called anywhere, so this just removes it.

There is a static module_find_bug in lib/bug.c but that is a separate issue.

2d1b202762 powerpc: Fixup lwsync at runtime
To allow for a single kernel image on e500 v1/v2/mc we need to fixup lwsync
at runtime.  On e500v1/v2 lwsync causes an illop so we need to patch up
the code.  We default to 'sync' since that is always safe and if the cpu
is capable we will replace 'sync' with 'lwsync'.

We introduce CPU_FTR_LWSYNC as a way to determine at runtime if this is
needed.  This flag could be moved elsewhere since we dont really use it
for the normal CPU_FTR purpose.

Finally we only store the relative offset in the fixup section to keep it
as small as possible rather than using a full fixup_entry.
