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.

There's no reason for smp_release_cpus() to be asm, and most people can make
more sense of C code. Add an extern declaration to smp.h and remove the custom
one in machine_kexec.c

This brings in a lot of changes from arch/ppc64/kernel/pmac_*.c to
arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/*.c and makes various minor tweaks
elsewhere. On the powermac we now initialize ppc_md by copying
the whole pmac_md structure into it, which required some changes in
the ordering of initializations of individual fields of it.

Merge ppc32 and ppc64 versions of thread_info.h. They were pretty
similar already, the chief changes are:
- Instead of inline asm to implement current_thread_info(),
which needs to be different for ppc32 and ppc64, we use C with an
asm("r1") register variable. gcc turns it into the same asm as we
used to have for both platforms.
- We replace ppc32's 'local_flags' with the ppc64
'syscall_noerror' field. The noerror flag was in fact the only thing
in the local_flags field anyway, so the ppc64 approach is simpler, and
means we only need a load-immediate/store instead of load/mask/store
when clearing the flag.
- In readiness for 64k pages, when THREAD_SIZE will be less
than a page, ppc64 used kmalloc() rather than get_free_pages() to
allocate the kernel stack. With this patch we do the same for ppc32,
since there's no strong reason not to.
- For ppc64, we no longer export THREAD_SHIFT and THREAD_SIZE
via asm-offsets, thread_info.h can now be safely included in asm, as
on ppc32.
Built and booted on G4 Powerbook (ARCH=ppc and ARCH=powerpc) and
Power5 (ARCH=ppc64 and ARCH=powerpc).

This is a bunch of mostly small fixes that are needed to get
ARCH=powerpc to compile for 64-bit. This adds setup_64.c from
arch/ppc64/kernel/setup.c and locks.c from arch/ppc64/lib/locks.c.

Although both ppc32 and ppc64 have a reloc_offset function, the ppc64
one produced the opposite sign to the ppc32 one. This standardizes
on the ppc32 sign and fixes the merged 64-bit code to account for that.

This changes symbols like HID0, SPRG3, SRR0, SRR1 etc. that refer to
special purpose registers to SPRN_HID0, SPRN_SPRG3, etc. Using the
SPRN_ symbols clutters the namespace less, and the forthcoming merge
of asm/processor.h and asm/reg.h is going to remove the non-SPRN_
versions.

These macros help in writing assembly code that works for both ppc32
and ppc64. With this we now have a common fpu.S. This takes out
load_up_fpu from head_64.S.

This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch
of Kconfig files. It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm,
arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac. This is enough
to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc.
For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and
arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel. This makes some minor changes
to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc.
The boot directory is still not merged. That's going to be interesting.
