When NR_CPUS is smaller than the cpu probed, let the user
know that the cpu won't be used.

Like the OF device tree, it's useful to let userland get
at the machine description so it can pretty print the
graph etc.
The implementation is a simple MISC device with a read method.

Fix following warning:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x35264): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:__alloc_bootmem (between 'mdesc_bootmem_alloc' and 'mdesc_bootmem_free')
Rename mdesc_mem_ops to *_ops so modpost ignores __init references
and declare mdesc_bootmem_alloc __init since it is only used
during __init context.

The "id" property in vdc-port nodes are not unique, they
are all zero. Therefore assign ID's using the parent's
"cfg-handle" property which will be unique.

And add dummy handlers for the VIO device layer. These will be filled
in with real code after the vdc, vnet, and ds drivers are reworked to
have simpler dependencies on the VIO device tree.

We need to make sure the MD update occurs before we try to
process dr-cpu configure requests. MD update and dr-cpu
were being processed by seperate threads so that did not
happen occaisionally.
Fix this by executing all domain services data packets from
a single thread, in order.
This will help simplify some other things as well.

Only adding cpus is supports at the moment, removal
will come next.
When new cpus are configured, the machine description is
updated. When we get the configure request we pass in a
cpu mask of to-be-added cpus to the mdesc CPU node parser
so it only fetches information for those cpus. That code
also proceeds to update the SMT/multi-core scheduling bitmaps.
cpu_up() does all the work and we return the status back
over the DS channel.
CPUs via dr-cpu need to be booted straight out of the
hypervisor, and this requires:
1) A new trampoline mechanism. CPUs are booted straight
out of the hypervisor with MMU disabled and running in
physical addresses with no mappings installed in the TLB.
The new hvtramp.S code sets up the critical cpu state,
installs the locked TLB mappings for the kernel, and
turns the MMU on. It then proceeds to follow the logic
of the existing trampoline.S SMP cpu bringup code.
2) All calls into OBP have to be disallowed when domaining
is enabled. Since cpus boot straight into the kernel from
the hypervisor, OBP has no state about that cpu and therefore
cannot handle being invoked on that cpu.
Luckily it's only a handful of interfaces which can be called
after the OBP device tree is obtained. For example, rebooting,
halting, powering-off, and setting options node variables.
CPU removal support will require some infrastructure changes
here. Namely we'll have to process the requests via a true
kernel thread instead of in a workqueue. workqueues run on
a per-cpu thread, but when unconfiguring we might need to
force the thread to execute on another cpu if the current cpu
is the one being removed. Removal of a cpu also causes the kernel
to destroy that cpu's workqueue running thread.
Another issue on removal is that we may have interrupts still
pointing to the cpu-to-be-removed. So new code will be needed
to walk the active INO list and retarget those cpus as-needed.

Since we have to be able to handle MD updates, having an in-tree
set of data structures representing the MD objects actually makes
things more painful.
The MD itself is easy to parse, and we can implement the existing
interfaces using direct parsing of the MD binary image.
The MD is now reference counted, so accesses have to now take the
form:
handle = mdesc_grab();
... operations on MD ...
mdesc_release(handle);
The only remaining issue are cases where code holds on to references
to MD property values. mdesc_get_property() returns a direct pointer
to the property value, most cases just pull in the information they
need and discard the pointer, but there are few that use the pointer
directly over a long lifetime. Those will be fixed up in a subsequent
changeset.
A preliminary handler for MD update events from domain services is
there, it is rudimentry but it works and handles all of the reference
counting. It does not check the generation number of the MDs,
and it does not generate a "add/delete" list for notification to
interesting parties about MD changes but that will be forthcoming.

It's not just sun4v hypervisor platforms that should return true
for this, sun4u with UltraSPARC-IV should return true too.

The scheduling domain hierarchy is:
all cpus -->
cpus that share an instruction cache -->
cpus that share an integer execution unit
