This is based upon a report by Meelis Roos showing that it's possible
that we'll try to fetch a property that is 32K in size with some
devices. With the current fixed 3K buffer we use for moving data in
and out of the firmware during PROM calls, that simply won't work.
In fact, it will scramble random kernel data during bootup.
The reasoning behind the temporary buffer is entirely historical. It
used to be the case that we had problems referencing dynamic kernel
memory (including the stack) early in the boot process before we
explicitly told the firwmare to switch us over to the kernel trap
table.
So what we did was always give the firmware buffers that were locked
into the main kernel image.
But we no longer have problems like that, so get rid of all of this
indirect bounce buffering.
Besides fixing Meelis's bug, this also makes the kernel data about 3K
smaller.
It was also discovered during these conversions that the
implementation of prom_retain() was completely wrong, so that was
fixed here as well. Currently that interface is not in use.

If we do something like try to print to the OF console from an NMI
while we're already in OpenFirmware, we'll deadlock on the spinlock.
Use a raw spinlock and disable NMIs when we take it.

Functions invoked early when booting up a cpu can't use
tracing because mcount requires a valid 'current_thread_info()'
and TLB mappings to be setup.
The code path of sun4v_register_mondo_queues --> register_one_mondo
is one such case. sun4v_register_mondo_queues already has the
necessary 'notrace' annotation, but register_one_mondo does not.
Normally register_one_mondo is inlined so the bug doesn't trigger,
but with some config/compiler combinations, it won't be so we
must properly mark it notrace.
While we're here, add 'notrace' annoations to prom_printf and
prom_halt so that early error handling won't have the same problem.

Two symbols are shared with sparc64 thus the exports were removed from
the sparc_ksyms_64.c too, along with the include their ommission made
redundant.

The only differences for sparc32 is that prom_printf is no longer
exported for modules which should be OK.

- all files with identical names copied and renamed to *_64.c
- the remaning files copied as is
- added sparc64 specific files to sparc/prom/Makefile
- teach sparc64 Makefile to look into sparc/prom/
- delete unused Makefile from sparc64/prom/
linking order was not kept for sparc64 with this change.
It was not possible to keep linking order for both sparc and sparc64
and as sparc64 see more testing than sparc it was natural to
break linking order on sparc64. Should it have any effect it
would be detected sooner this way.
printf_32.c and printf_64.c are obvious candidates to be merged
but they are not 100% equal so that was left for later

While doing some easy cleanups on the sparc code I noticed that the
CONFIG_SUN4 code seems to be worse than the rest - there were some
"I don't know how it should work, but the current code definitely cannot
work." places.
And while I have seen people running Linux on machines like a
SPARCstation 5 a few years ago I don't recall having seen sun4
machines, even less ones running Linux.

The PROM library function prom_meminit() builds a table,
prom_phys_avail[], just so that probe_memory() in
arch/sparc/mm/fault.c can copy it into sp_banks[].
Just have prom_meminit() fill in the sp_banks[] array directly, and
remove duplicated sort() function.

The code in arch/sparc/prom/memory.c computes three tables, the list
of total memory, the list of available memory (total minus what
firmware is using), and the list of firmware taken memory.
Only the available memory list is even used.
Therefore, kill those unused tables and make prom_meminfo() return
just the available memory list.

The idea of this thing is we could save/restore the firmware's
palette when breaking in and out of the firmware prompt.
Only one driver implemented this (atyfb) and it's value is
questionable. If you're just debugging you don't really
care that the characters end up being purple or whatever.
And we can provide better debugging and firmware command
facilities with minimal in-kernel console I/O drivers.

The current scheme works on static interpretation of text names, which
is wrong.
The output-device setting, for example, must be resolved via an alias
or similar to a full path name to the console device.
Paths also contain an optional set of 'options', which starts with a
colon at the end of the path. The option area is used to specify
which of two serial ports ('a' or 'b') the path refers to when a
device node drives multiple ports. 'a' is assumed if the option
specification is missing.
This was caught by the UltraSPARC-T1 simulator. The 'output-device'
property was set to 'ttya' and we didn't pick upon the fact that this
is an OBP alias set to '/virtual-devices/console'. Instead we saw it
as the first serial console device, instead of the hypervisor console.
The infrastructure is now there to take advantage of this to resolve
the console correctly even in multi-head situations in fbcon too.
Thanks to Greg Onufer for the bug report.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
