I am about to commit:

http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2010-10/msg00033.html

that fixes a problem with the LD/SD macro currently implemented by GAS for
the o32 ABI in an inconsistent way.  This is best illustrated with a
simple program, which I'm copying here from the message above for easier
reference:

$ cat ld.s
	ld	$5,32767($4)
	ld	$5,32768($4)

This gets assebled into the following output:

$ mips-linux-as -32 -mips3 -o ld.o ld.s
$ mips-linux-objdump -d ld.o

ld.o:     file format elf32-tradbigmips

Disassembly of section .text:

00000000 <.text>:
   0:	dc857fff 	ld	a1,32767(a0)
   4:	3c010001 	lui	at,0x1
   8:	00810821 	addu	at,a0,at
   c:	8c258000 	lw	a1,-32768(at)
  10:	8c268004 	lw	a2,-32764(at)
	...

Oops!

 The GAS fix makes the macro behave in a consistent way and pairs of LW/SW
instructions to be output as appropriate regardless of the size of the
offset associated with the address used.  The machine instruction is still
available, but to reach it macros have to be disabled first.  This has a
side effect of requiring the use of a machine-addressable memory operand.

 As some platforms require 64-bit operations for accesses to some I/O
registers LD/SD instructions are used in a couple of places in Linux
regardless of the ABI selected.  Here's a fix for some pieces of code
affected I've been able to track down.  The fix should be backwards
compatible with all supported binutils releases in existence and can be
used as a reference for any other places or off-tree code.  The use of the
"R" constraint guarantees a machine-addressable operand.

MIPS currently lacks the readl_be and writel_be accessors
which are required by BCM63xx for OHCI and EHCI support.
Let's define them globally for MIPS. This also fixes the
compilation of the bcm63xx defconfig against USB.

dma_cache_(wback|inv|wback_inv) were the earliest attempt on a generalized
cache managment API for I/O purposes.  Originally it was basically the raw
MIPS low level cache API exported to the entire world.  The API has
suffered from a lack of documentation, was not very widely used unlike it's
more modern brothers and can easily be replaced by dma_cache_sync.  So
remove it rsp.  turn the surviving bits back into an arch private API, as
discussed on linux-arch.

0xff000000-0xff3fffff on TX49XX and 0xff000000-0xfffeffff on TX39XX
are reserved (unmapped, uncached).  Controllers on these SoCs are

This implementation has support for the concept of one separate ioport
address space by PCI domain.  A pointer to the virtual address where
the port space of a domain has been mapped has been added to struct
pci_controller and systems should be fixed to fill in this value. For
single domain systems this will be the same value as passed to
set_io_port_base().

On all targets that sucker boils down to memcpy_fromio(sbk->data, from, len).
The function name is highly misguiding (it _never_ does any checksums), the
last argument is just a noise and simply expanding the call to memcpy_fromio()
gives shorter and more readable source.  For a lot of reasons it has almost
no remaining users, so it's better to just outright kill it.

The old code was assuming that min_low_pfn was always 0. This
means that platforms having a big hole at their memory start
paid the price of wasting some memory for the allocation of
unused entries in mem_map[].

This patch prevents this waste.

It introduces PHYS_OFFSET define which is the start of the
physical memory and uses it wherever needed. Specially when
converting physical/virtual addresses into virtual/physical
ones.

Currently all platforms defines PHYS_OFFSET to 0.

__pa() was used by virt_to_page() and virt_addr_valid(). These
latter are used when kernel is initialised so __pa() is not
appropriate, we use virt_to_phys() instead.

Futhermore __pa() is going to take care of CKSEG0/XKPHYS
address mix for 64 bit kernels. This makes __pa() more complex
than virt_to_phys() and this extra work is not needed by
virt_to_page() and virt_addr_valid().

Eventually it consolidates virt_to_phys() prototype by making
its argument 'const'. this avoids some warnings that was due
to some virt_to_page() usages which pass const pointer.

1. Move ioswab*() and __mem_ioswab*() to mangle-port.h.  This gets rid
   of CONFIG_SGI_IP22 from include/asm-mips/io.h.
    
2. Pass a virtual address to *ioswab*().  Then we can provide
   mach-specific *ioswab*() and can do every evil thing based on its
   argument.  It could be useful on machines which have regions with
   different endian conversion scheme.
    
3. Call __swizzle_addr*() _after_ adding mips_io_port_base.  This
   unifies the meaning of the argument of __swizzle_addr*() (always
   virtual address).  Then mach-specific __swizzle_addr*() can do every
   evil thing based on the argument.

If a call to set_io_port_base() was being followed by usage of
mips_io_port_base in the same function gcc was possibly using the old
value due to some clever abuse of const.  Adding a barrier will keep
the optimization and result in correct code with latest gcc.

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!
