Some HW platforms, such as the new cell blades, requires some MPIC sources
to be left alone by the operating system. This implements support for
a "protected-sources" property in the mpic controller node containing a list
of source numbers to be protected against operating system interference.
For those interested in the gory details, the MPIC on the southbridge of
those blades has some of the processor outputs routed to the cell, and
at least one routed as a GPIO to the service processor. It will be used
in the GA product for routing some of the southbridge error interrupts
to the service processor which implements some of the RAS stuff, such
as checkstopping when fatal errors occurs before they can propagate.

Classic 32-bit PowerPC CPUs, and the early 64-bit PowerPC CPUs, don't
provide a way to prevent execution from readable pages, that is, the
MMU doesn't distinguish between data reads and instruction reads,
although a different exception is taken for faults in data accesses
and instruction accesses.
Commit 9ba4ace39fdfe22268daca9f28c5df384ae462cf, in the course of
fixing another bug, added a check that meant that a page fault due
to an instruction access would fail if the vma did not have the
VM_EXEC flag set. This gives an inconsistent enforcement on these
CPUs of the no-execute status of the vma (since reading from the page
is sufficient to allow subsequent execution from it), and causes old
versions of ppc32 glibc (2.2 and earlier) to fail, since they rely
on executing the word before the GOT but don't have it marked
executable.
This fixes the problem by allowing execution from readable (or writable)
areas on CPUs which do not provide separate control over data and
instruction reads.

Move firmware feature initialisation from pSeries_init_early to the
earlier pSeries_probe_hypertas so they are initialised before firmware
feature fixups are applied.
Currently firmware feature sections are only used for iSeries which
initialises the these features much earlier. This is a bug in waiting
on pSeries.
Also adds some whitespace fixups.

This sorts out the various lists and related locks in the spu code.
In detail:
- the per-node free_spus and active_list are gone. Instead struct spu
gained an alloc_state member telling whether the spu is free or not
- the per-node spus array is now locked by a per-node mutex, which
takes over from the global spu_lock and the per-node active_mutex
- the spu_alloc* and spu_free function are gone as the state change is
now done inline in the spufs code. This allows some more sharing of
code for the affinity vs normal case and more efficient locking
- some little refactoring in the affinity code for this locking scheme

From: Maynard Johnson <mpjohn@us.ibm.com>
This patch updates the existing arch/powerpc/oprofile/op_model_cell.c
to add in the SPU profiling capabilities. In addition, a 'cell' subdirectory
was added to arch/powerpc/oprofile to hold Cell-specific SPU profiling code.
Exports spu_set_profile_private_kref and spu_get_profile_private_kref which
are used by OProfile to store private profile information in spufs data
structures.
Also incorporated several fixes from other patches (rrn). Check pointer
returned from kzalloc. Eliminated unnecessary cast. Better error
handling and cleanup in the related area. 64-bit unsigned long parameter
was being demoted to 32-bit unsigned int and eventually promoted back to
unsigned long.

Example of vicinity properties for a node in Malta:
Node: Vicinity property contains phandles of:
spe@0 [ spe@100000 , mic-tm@50a000 ]
spe@100000 [ spe@0 , spe@200000 ]
spe@200000 [ spe@100000 , spe@300000 ]
spe@300000 [ spe@200000 , bif0@512000 ]
spe@80000 [ spe@180000 , mic-tm@50a000 ]
spe@180000 [ spe@80000 , spe@280000 ]
spe@280000 [ spe@180000 , spe@380000 ]
spe@380000 [ spe@280000 , bif0@512000 ]
Only spe@* have a vicinity property (e.g., bif0@512000 and
mic-tm@50a000 do not have it).

Addition of a spufs-global "cbe_info" array. Each entry contains information
about one Cell/B.E. node, namelly:
* list of spus (both free and busy spus are in this list);
* list of free spus (replacing the static spu_list from spu_base.c)
* number of spus;
* number of reserved (non scheduleable) spus.
SPE affinity implementation actually requires only access to one spu per
BE node (since it implements its own pointer to walk through the other spus
of the ring) and the number of scheduleable spus (n_spus - non_sched_spus)
However having this more general structure can be useful for other
functionalities, concentrating per-cbe statistics / data.

This patch adds support for the setup and decoding of MSIs
on Axon-based Cell systems, using the MSIC mechanism.
This involves setting up an area of BE memory which the Axon
then uses as a FIFO for MSI messages. When one or more MSIs
are decoded by the MSIC we receive an interrupt on the MPIC,
and the MSI messages are written into the FIFO. At the moment
we use a 64KB FIFO, one per MSIC/BE.

The Axon bridge chip used on new Cell/B.E. based blade servers
comes with a DDR2 memory controller that can be used to
attach cheap memory modules, as opposed to the high-speed
XDR memory that is used by the CPU itself.
Since the memory controller does not participate in the
cache coherency protocol, we can not use the memory direcly
for Linux applications, but by providing a block device
it can be used for swap space, temporary file storage and
through the use of the direct_access block device operation
for mapping into user addresses, when it is mounted with
an appropriate file system.

The platforms missing the "cpus" property in the "be" node are mono-Cell
platforms such as CAB or Getaway.
Therefore it is possible to assume that if there is no "cpus" properties
under the "be" node then we can safely return the "device node" without
more checking. This is a bit hacky but ... it allows it to work on
these platforms.

Previous patch changed based on Christian Krafft's comment.
On some legacy SLOF tree the generic code is unable to ioremap some Cell BE
registers. Therefore the "generic" functions are returning a NULL pointer,
triggering a crash on such platforms.
Let's handle this more gracefully.
