Incorrect use of of_find_node_by_name() causes of_node_put()
on a node which has already been put. It causes the refcount of
the node to underflow, which triggers the WARN_ON in kref_get
for 836x and 832x. This fixes it.

It appears that the iommu table address is never stored, and thus
never found, on non-lpar systems. Thus, for example, during boot:
<7>[ 93.067916] PCI: Scanning bus 0001:41
<7>[ 93.068542] PCI: Found 0001:41:01.0 [8086/100f] 000200 00
<7>[ 93.068550] PCI: Calling quirk c0000000007822e0 for 0001:41:01.0
<7>[ 93.069815] PCI: Fixups for bus 0001:41
<4>[ 93.070167] iommu: Device 0001:41:01.0 has no iommu table
<7>[ 93.070251] PCI: Bus scan for 0001:41 returning with max=41
No iommu table? How can that be? Well, circa line 471 of
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/iommu.c we see the code:
while (dn && PCI_DN(dn) && PCI_DN(dn)->iommu_table == NULL)
dn = dn->parent;
and a few lines later is the surprising print statement about
the missing table. Seems that this loop ran unto the end, never
once finding a non-null PCI_DN(dn)->iommu_table.
The problem can be found a few lines earlier: it sems that the
value of PCI_DN(dn)->iommu_table is never ever set. Thus, the
patch sets it.
The patch was tested on a Power4 system running in full system
partition mode, which is where I saw the problem. It works; I've
not done any wider testing. Had a brief discussion on this on irc.

The mmio nvram driver (used by cell only atm) isn't properly parsing
the device-tree, meaning that nvram isn't found correctly on the new
Cell blades. It works ok for old blades where the nvram is at the
root of the device tree but fails on Malta and CAB when it's hanging
off axon. This fixes it by using the proper OF parsing functions.

The new implementation of pci_device_to_OF_node() on ppc32 has a bogus
sanity check in it that can cause oopses at boot when no device node is
present, and might hit correct cases with older/weird apple device-trees
where they have the type "vci" for the chaos bridge.

Compiling the kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG = y and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU = n
with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE = y generates the following modpost warnings

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
.text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c37) and 'cpu_up'
This is because cpu_up, _cpu_up and __cpu_up (in some architectures) are
defined as __devinit
AND
__cpu_up calls some __cpuinit functions.
Since __cpuinit would map to __init with this kind of a configuration,
we get a .text refering .init.data warning.
This patch solves the problem by converting all of __cpu_up, _cpu_up
and cpu_up from __devinit to __cpuinit. The approach is justified since
the callers of cpu_up are either dependent on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU or
are of __init type.
Thus when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y, all these cpu up functions would land up
in .text section, and when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n, all these functions would
land up in .init section.
Tested on a i386 SMP machine running linux-2.6.20-rc3-mm1.

There were a few issues with the HCALL_STATS code:
- PURR cpu feature checks were backwards
- We iterated one entry off the end of the hcall_stats array
- Remove dead update_hcall_stats() function prototype
I noticed one thing while debugging, and that is we call H_ENTER (to set
up the MMU hashtable in early init) before we have done the cpu fixups.
This means we will execute the PURR SPR reads even on a CPU that isnt
capable of it. I wonder if we can move the CPU feature fixups earlier.

It looks to me like we are corrupting r12 in the hcall9 function.
Although we have r0 free we cant use offsets against it, so save
away r12 in there instead. r12 holds the ninth return value from
the hypervisor call, so without this fix, the caller will see the
wrong value for the ninth element in the array that gets the return
values.

Using device_initcall makes it happen for every platform that
compiles this file in. This is really bad, for obvious reasons.
Instead, we use the .init field of the machine description. If
the platform needs the hook to do something specific it can provides
its own function and call mpc52xx_declare_of_platform_devices from
there. If not, the mpc52xx_declare_of_platform_devices function can
directly be used as the init hook.

When we switched over to the generic BUG mechanism we forgot to change
the assembly code which open-codes a WARN_ON() in enter_rtas(), so the
bug table got corrupted.
This patch provides an EMIT_BUG_ENTRY macro for use in assembly code,
and uses it in entry_64.S. Tested with CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE on ppc64
but not without -- I tried to turn it off but it wouldn't go away; I
suspect Aunt Tillie probably needed it.
This version gets __FILE__ and __LINE__ right in the assembly version --
rather than saying include/asm-powerpc/bug.h line 21 every time which is

The powerpc specific version of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() makes some
unwarranted assumptions about what checks have been made to its
parameters by its callers. This will lead to a BUG_ON() if a 32-bit
process attempts to make a hugepage mapping which extends above
TASK_SIZE (4GB).
I'm not sure if these assumptions came about because they were valid
with earlier versions of the get_unmapped_area() path, or if it was
always broken. Nonetheless this patch fixes the logic, and removes
the crash.

For 32-bit processes, the getcontext side of the swapcontext system
call (i.e. the saving of the context when the first argument is
non-NULL) has to set the ctx->uc_mcontext.uc_regs pointer to the place
where it saves the registers. Which it does, but it doesn't ensure
that the pointer is 16-byte aligned. 16-byte alignment is needed
because the Altivec/VMX registers are saved in there, and they need to
be on a 16-byte boundary.
This fixes it by ensuring the appropriate alignment of the pointer.
This issue was pointed out by Jakub Jelinek.

On some oldworld PowerMacs, OF doesn't assign interrupts properly
beyond P2P bridges. Fortunately, the fix is easy as all those machines
just wire all IRQ lines together to one IRQ which is assigned to the
bridge itself. We already have a special function for parsing Apple
OldWorld interrupts which are special, so let's add to it the ability
to walk up the PCI tree to find interrupts.
This fixes irqs on the lower slots of s900 clones among others.

This makes powerpc use the generic BUG machinery. The biggest reports the
function name, since it is redundant with kallsyms, and not needed in general.
There is an overall reduction of code, since module_32/64 duplicated several
functions.
Unfortunately there's no way to tell gcc that BUG won't return, so the BUG
macro includes a goto loop. This will generate a real jmp instruction, which
is never used.

The changes to use pci_read_irq_line() broke interrupt parsing
on some 32-bit powermacs (oops). The reason is a bit obscure.
The code to parse interrupts happens earlier now, during
pcibios_fixup() as the PCI bus is being probed. However, the
current implementation pci_device_to_OF_node() for 32-bit
powerpc relies, on machines like PowerMac which renumber PCI buses,
on a table called pci_OF_bus_map containing a map of bus numbers
between the kernel and the firmware which is setup only later.
Thus, it fails to match the device node. In addition, some of
Apple internal PCI devices lack a proper PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN, thus
preventing the fallback mapping code to work.
This patch fixes it by making pci_device_to_OF_node() 32-bit
implementation use a different algorithm that works without
using the pci_OF_bus_map thing (which I intend to deprecate
anyway). It's a bit slower but that function isn't called in
any hot path hopefully.

For PAPR partitions with large amounts of memory, the firmware has an
alternative, more compact representation for the information about the
memory in the partition and its NUMA associativity information. This
adds the code to the kernel to parse this alternative representation.
The other part of this patch is telling the firmware that we can
handle the alternative representation. There is however a subtlety
here, because the firmware will invoke a reboot if the memory
representation we request is different from the representation that
firmware is currently using. This is because firmware can't change
the representation on the fly. Further, some firmware versions used
on POWER5+ machines have a bug where this reboot leaves the machine
with an altered value of load-base, which will prevent any kernel
booting until it is reset to the normal value (0x4000). Because of
this bug, we do NOT set fake_elf.rpanote.new_mem_def = 1, and thus we
do not request the new representation on POWER5+ and earlier machines.
We do request the new representation on POWER6, which uses the
ibm,client-architecture-support call.

pSeries_probe can decide that we are a pseries but then fail to
initialise the MMU. If an rtas node doesnt exist, we continually fall
out of pSeries_probe_hypertas early and never get to the MMU init code.
While pseries without RTAS is an illegal combination, the way we
currently fail is a pain to track down, and can happen if your flattened
device tree code has issues (like mine did :).
With the following patch we init the MMU, come up and print some
warnings about RTAS not existing, instead of looping on 0x400 exceptions.
