ppc64: Set up PCI tree from Open Firmware device tree
This adds code which gives us the option on ppc64 of instantiating the PCI tree (the tree of pci_bus and pci_dev structs) from the Open Firmware device tree rather than by probing PCI configuration space. The OF device tree has a node for each PCI device and bridge in the system, with properties that tell us what addresses the firmware has configured for them and other details. There are a couple of reasons why this is needed. First, on systems with a hypervisor, there is a PCI-PCI bridge per slot under the PCI host bridges. These PCI-PCI bridges have special isolation features for virtualization. We can't write to their config space, and we are not supposed to be reading their config space either. The firmware tells us about the address ranges that they pass in the OF device tree. Secondly, on powermacs, the interrupt controller is in a PCI device that may be behind a PCI-PCI bridge. If we happened to take an interrupt just at the point when the device or a bridge on the path to it was disabled for probing, we would crash when we try to access the interrupt controller. I have implemented a platform-specific function which is called for each PCI bridge (host or PCI-PCI) to say whether the code should look in the device tree or use normal PCI probing for the devices under that bridge. On pSeries machines we use the device tree if we're running under a hypervisor, otherwise we use normal probing. On powermacs we use normal probing for the AGP bridge, since the device for the AGP bridge itself isn't shown in the device tree (at least on my G5), and the device tree for everything else. This has been tested on a dual G5 powermac, a partition on a POWER5 machine (running under the hypervisor), and a legacy iSeries partition. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
