Get rid of the jumbled usage of the no_logging flag. Its use
spans several directories, and is incorrectly/misleadingly
documented. Instead, two changes:
1) nvram will accept error log as soon as its ready.
2) logging to nvram stops on the first fatal error reported.

Simplify rtasd initialization code; this also fixes a buglet,
where the /proc entries weren't being cleaned up in case of
failure.

The rtas_token() call does the same thing as this hand-rolled code.
This makes the code easier to read.

We don't need to look up the rtas event token once per
cpu per second. This avoids some misc device-tree lookups
and string ops and so provides some minor performance
improvement.

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Now that get_property() returns a void *, there's no need to cast its
return value. Also, treat the return value as const, so we can
constify get_property later.

This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this,
board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.
We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
_machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also
changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
_machine.

We needed the VDSO symbols in the arch/ppc asm-offsets.c, and there
were a few usages of _systemcfg still left lying around.

This patch merges platform codes. systemcfg->platform is no longer used,
systemcfg use in general is deprecated as much as possible (and renamed
_systemcfg before it gets completely moved elsewhere in a future patch),
_machine is now used on ppc64 along as ppc32. Platform codes aren't gone
yet but we are getting a step closer. A bunch of asm code in head[_64].S
is also turned into C code.

This moves rtas-proc.c and rtas_flash.c into arch/powerpc/kernel, since
cell wants them as well as pseries (and chrp can use rtas-proc.c too,
at least in principle). rtas_fw.c is gone, with its bits moved into
rtas_flash.c and rtas.c.
