a7fdd90bc4 [PATCH] ppc: Remove powermac support from ARCH=ppc
This makes it possible to build kernels for PReP and/or CHRP
with ARCH=ppc by removing the (non-building) powermac support.
It's now also possible to select PReP and CHRP independently.
Powermac users should now build with ARCH=powerpc instead of
ARCH=ppc.  (This does mean that it is no longer possible to
build a 32-bit kernel for a G5.)

3ddfbcf19b [PATCH] powerpc: Consolidate asm compatibility macros
This patch consolidates macros used to generate assembly for
compatibility across different CPUs or configs.  A new header,
asm-powerpc/asm-compat.h contains the main compatibility macros.  It
uses some preprocessor magic to make the macros suitable both for use
in .S files, and in inline asm in .c files.  Headers (bitops.h,
uaccess.h, atomic.h, bug.h) which had their own such compatibility
macros are changed to use asm-compat.h.

ppc_asm.h is now for use in .S files *only*, and a #error enforces
that.  As such, we're a lot more careless about namespace pollution
here than in asm-compat.h.

While we're at it, this patch adds a call to the PPC405_ERR77 macro in
futex.h which should have had it already, but didn't.

Built and booted on pSeries, Maple and iSeries (ARCH=powerpc).  Built
for 32-bit powermac (ARCH=powerpc) and Walnut (ARCH=ppc).

c49888203d powerpc: Fixes to get the Longtrail CHRP a bit further
Talk about buggy firmware...  the OF on the Longtrail returns 0
from the claim client service rather than -1 when the claim fails.
It also has no device_type on the /memory node and blows up if
the output buffer for package-to-path is too big.

This also fixes a bug with calling alloc_up with align == 0, where
we did _ALIGN_UP(alloc_bottom, 0) which will end up as 0.

Lastly, we now check the return value (in r3) from calling the
prom, and return -1 from call_prom if we get a negative value back.
That is supposed to indicate that the requested client service
doesn't exist.

85e568ea58 powerpc: Make coff boot wrapper load the kernel at 8M
Previously it claimed 7MB starting at the 9M point and loaded the
kernel there.  That meant that prom_init put the flattened device
tree above 16M.  On the 601 that caused the early device tree scan
to fail, since only 16MB are mapped with BATs on the 601.  Moving
this down to 8MB allows prom_init to put the flattened device tree
between 15M and 16M, so it works on the 601.

6879dc137e [PATCH] ppc32: Kill embedded system.map, use kallsyms
This patch kills the whole embedded System.map mecanism and the
bootloader-passed System.map that was used to provide symbol resolution in
xmon.  Instead, xmon now uses kallsyms like ppc64 does.

No hurry getting that in Linus tree, let it be tested in -mm for a while
first and make sure it doesn't break various embedded configs.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
