include/linux/version.h contained both actual KERNEL version
and UTS_RELEASE that contains a subset from git SHA1 for when
kernel was compiled as part of a git repository.
This had the unfortunate side-effect that all files including version.h
would be recompiled when some git changes was made due to changes SHA1.
Split it out so we keep independent parts in separate files.

Also update checkversion.pl script to no longer check for UTS_RELEASE.

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.

ARCH=powerpc couldn't boot from BootX as it uses a "different" way of
getting in the kernel. This patch adds the necessary trampolines,
creating a flattened device-tree from the tree passed from MacOS, and
initializing the btext engine early for really-early debugging.
