X has been failing to start on my quad G5 powermac since commit
1fd0f52583a85b21a394201b007bc1ee104b235d ("powerpc: Fix domain numbers
in /proc on 64-bit") went in. The reason is that the change allows X
to see the PCI-PCI bridge above the video card (previously it was
obscured by the fact that there were two "00" directories in
/proc/bus/pci), and the pciconfig_iobase system call on the bridge is
failing because of a hack that we have to return information about the
AGP bus when X asks about bus 0. This machine doesn't have an AGP bus
(it has PCI Express) and so the pciconfig_iobase call is returning -1,
which ultimately causes X to fail to start.
This fixes it by checking that we have an AGP bridge before
redirecting the pciconfig_iobase call to return information about the
AGP bus. With this, X starts successfully both on a quad G5 with
PCI Express and on an older dual G5 with AGP.

The current code for providing processor cache information in sysfs
has the following deficiencies:
- several complex functions that are hard to understand
- implicit recursion (cache_desc_release -> kobject_put -> cache_desc_release)
- explicit recursion (create_cache_index_info)
- use of two per-cpu arrays when one would suffice
- duplication of work on systems where CPUs share cache
Also, when I looked at implementing support for a shared_cpu_map
attribute, it was pretty much impossible to handle hotplug without
checking every single online CPU's cache_desc list and fixing things
up... not that this is a hot path, but it would have introduced
O(n^2)-ish behavior during boot. Addressing this involved rethinking
the core data structures used, which didn't lend itself to an
incremental approach.
This implementation maintains a "forest" (potentially more than one
tree) of cache objects which reflects the system's cache topology.
Cache objects are instantiated as needed as CPUs come online. A
per-cpu array is used mainly for sysfs-related bookkeeping; the
objects in the array just point to the appropriate points in the
forest.
This maintains compatibility with the existing code and includes some
enhancements:
- Implement the shared_cpu_map attribute, which is essential for
enabling userspace to discover the system's overall cache topology.
- Use cache-block-size properties if cache-line-size is not available.
I chose to place this implementation in a new file since it would have
roughly doubled the size of sysfs.c, which is already kind of messy.

This patch makes the default install script (arch/powerpc/boot/install.sh)
copy the bootable image files into the install directory. Before this
patch only the vmlinux image file was copied.
This patch makes the default 'make install' command useful for embedded
development when $(INSTALL_PATH) is set in the environment.
As a side effect, this patch changes the calling convention of the
install.sh script. Instead of a single 5th parameter, the script is now
passed a list of all the target images stored in the $(image-y) Makefile
variable. This should be backwards compatible with existing install scripts
since it just adds additional arguments and does not change existing ones.

Since we memset() the result in both of the uses here,
just make careful_alloc() return a virtual address.
Also, add a separate variable to store the physial
address that comes back from the lmb_alloc() functions.
This makes it less likely that someone will screw it up
forgetting to convert before returning since the vaddr
is always in a void* and the paddr is always in an
unsigned long.
I admit this is arbitrary since one of its users needs
a paddr and one a vaddr, but it does remove a good
number of casts.

If we fail a bootmem allocation, the bootmem code itself
panics. No need to redo it here.
Also change the wording of the other panic. We don't
strictly have to allocate memory on the specified node.
It is just a hint and that node may not even *have* any
memory on it. In that case we can and do fall back to
other nodes.

There's a problem on some embedded platforms when we re-assign
everything on PCI, such as 44x. The generic code tries to avoid
assigning devices to addresses overlapping the low legacy
addresses such as VGA hard decoded areas using constants that
are unfortunately no good for us, as they don't take into account
the address translation we do to access PCI busses.
Thus we end up allocating things like IO BARs to 0, which is
technically legal, but will shadow hard decoded ports for use
by things like VGA cards.
This works around it by attempting to reserve legacy regions
before we try to assign addresses.
NOTE: This may have nasty side effects in cases I haven't tested
yet:
- We try to use FW mappings (ie. powermac) and the FW has allocated
a conflicting address over those legacy regions. This will typically
happen. I would expect the new code to just fail with an informative
message without harm but I haven't had a chance to test that scenario
yet.
- A device with fixed BARs overlapping those legacy addresses such
as an IDE controller in legacy mode is in the system. I don't know
for sure yet what will happen there, I have to test :-)
Ideally, we should change PCIBIOS_MIN_IO/MIN_MEM accross the board
to take a bus pointer so they can provide appropriate per-bus translated
values to the generic code but that's a more invasive patch. I will
do that in the future, but in the meantime, this fixes the problem
locally

Device drivers that use pci_request_regions() (and similar APIs) have a
reasonable expectation that they are the only ones accessing their device.
As part of the e1000e hunt, we were afraid that some userland (X or some
bootsplash stuff) was mapping the MMIO region that the driver thought it
had exclusively via /dev/mem or via various sysfs resource mappings.
This patch adds the option for device drivers to cause their reserved
regions to the "banned from /dev/mem use" list, so now both kernel memory
and device-exclusive MMIO regions are banned.
NOTE: This is only active when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is set.
In addition to the config option, a kernel parameter iomem=relaxed is
provided for the cases where developers want to diagnose, in the field,
drivers issues from userspace.
