      x86, olpc: Add support for calling into OpenFirmware · fd699c76
      Andres Salomon 提交于
      Add support for saving OFW's cif, and later calling into it to run OFW
      commands.  OFW remains resident in memory, living within virtual range
      0xff800000 - 0xffc00000.  A single page directory entry points to the
      pgdir that OFW actually uses, so rather than saving the entire page
      table, we grab and install that one entry permanently in the kernel's
      page table.
      
      This is currently only used by the OLPC XO.  Note that this particular
      calling convention breaks PAE and PAT, and so cannot be used on newer
      x86 hardware.
