Xen events are logically edge triggered, as Xen only calls the event
upcall when an event is newly set, but not continuously as it remains set.
As a result, use handle_edge_irq rather than handle_level_irq.

This has the important side-effect of fixing a long-standing bug of
events getting lost if:
 - an event's interrupt handler is running
 - the event is migrated to a different vcpu
 - the event is re-triggered

The most noticable symptom of these lost events is occasional lockups
of blkfront.

Many thanks to Tom Kopec and Daniel Stodden in tracking this down.

IPIs and VIRQs are inherently per-cpu event types, so treat them as such:
 - use a specific percpu irq_chip implementation, and
 - handle them with handle_percpu_irq

This makes the path for delivering these interrupts more efficient
(no masking/unmasking, no locks), and it avoid problems with attempts
to migrate them.

The tlb flushing code uses the mm_users field of the mm_struct to
decide if each page table entry needs to be flushed individually with
IPTE or if a global flush for the mm_struct is sufficient after all page
table updates have been done. The comment for mm_users says "How many
users with user space?" but the /proc code increases mm_users after it
found the process structure by pid without creating a new user process.
Which makes mm_users useless for the decision between the two tlb
flusing methods. The current code can be confused to not flush tlb
entries by a concurrent access to /proc files if e.g. a fork is in
progres. The solution for this problem is to make the tlb flushing
logic independent from the mm_users field.

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.

As early setup calls down to slb_initialize(), we must have kstack
initialised before checking "should we add a bolted SLB entry for our kstack?"

Failing to do so means stack access requires an SLB miss exception to refill
an entry dynamically, if the stack isn't accessible via SLB(0) (kernel text
& static data).  It's not always allowable to take such a miss, and
intermittent crashes will result.

Primary CPUs don't have this issue; an SLB entry is not bolted for their
stack anyway (as that lives within SLB(0)).  This patch therefore only
affects the init of secondaries.

When looking at some issues with the virtual ethernet driver I noticed
that TCE allocation was following a very strange pattern:

address 00e9000 length 2048
address 0409000 length 2048 <-----
address 0429000 length 2048
address 0449000 length 2048
address 0469000 length 2048
address 0489000 length 2048
address 04a9000 length 2048
address 04c9000 length 2048
address 04e9000 length 2048
address 4009000 length 2048 <-----
address 4029000 length 2048

Huge unexplained gaps in what should be an empty TCE table. It turns out
it_blocksize, the amount we want to align the next allocation to, was
c0000000fe903b20. Completely bogus.

Initialise it to something reasonable in the VIO IOMMU code, and use kzalloc
everywhere to protect against this when we next add a non compulsary
field to iommu code and forget to initialise it.

During CPU offline/online tests __cpu_up would flood the logs with
the following message:

Processor 0 found.

This provides no useful information to the user as there is no context
provided, and since the operation was a success (to this point) it is expected
that the CPU will come back online, providing all the feedback necessary.

Change the "Processor found" message to DBG() similar to other such messages in
