The kernel uses SPRG registers for various purposes, typically in
low level assembly code as scratch registers or to hold per-cpu
global infos such as the PACA or the current thread_info pointer.

We want to be able to easily shuffle the usage of those registers
as some implementations have specific constraints realted to some
of them, for example, some have userspace readable aliases, etc..
and the current choice isn't always the best.

This patch should not change any code generation, and replaces the
usage of SPRN_SPRGn everywhere in the kernel with a named replacement
and adds documentation next to the definition of the names as to
what those are used for on each processor family.

The only parts that still use the original numbers are bits of KVM
or suspend/resume code that just blindly needs to save/restore all
the SPRGs.

This has the consequence of changing the section name use for head
code from ".text.head" to ".head.text".  Since this commit changes all
users in the architecture, this change should be harmless.

This makes swap routines operate correctly on the ppc_8xx based machines.
Code has been revalidated on mpc885ads (8M sdram) with recent kernel. Based
on patch from Yuri Tikhonov <yur@emcraft.com> to do the same on arch/ppc
instance.

Recent kernel's size makes swap feature very important on low-memory platforms,
those are actually non-operable without it.

The CPU15 erratum on MPC8xx chips can cause incorrect code execution
under certain circumstances, where there is a conditional or indirect
branch in the last word of a page, with a target in the last cache line
of the next page.  This patch implements one of the suggested
workarounds, by forcing a TLB miss whenever execution crosses a page
boundary.  This is done by invalidating the pages before and after the
one being loaded into the TLB in the ITLB miss handler.

We get warnings like the following from the various ppc32 head*.S files:

Added a .text.head section simliar to what other architectures do since
modpost already excludes this from its warnings.

Use idle_power4.S from ppc64 as we are not going to support
32 bit power4 in the merged tree.

Merge ppc64 traps.c into powerpc traps.c:
	use ppc64 versions of exception routine names
		(as they don't have StudlyCaps)
	make all the versions if die() have the same

This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch
of Kconfig files.  It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm,
arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac.  This is enough
to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc.

For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and
arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel.  This makes some minor changes
to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc.

The boot directory is still not merged.  That's going to be interesting.

On PPC 8xx, the DataTLBMiss handler does not jump directly to the page
fault handler, as was the case in v2.4.

It instead loads an invalid TLB which causes a subsequent DataTLBError
exception.

The comment on top of it haven't been update to reflect the change, though.

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!
