Marcelo Tosatti c51e078f82 [PATCH] ppc32/8xx: Fix r3 trashing due to 8MB TLB page instantiation
Instantiation of 8MB pages on the TLB cache for the kernel static
mapping trashes r3 register on !CONFIG_8xx_CPU6 configurations.
This ensures r3 gets saved and restored.

Jon Mason 2ef9481e66 [PATCH] powerpc: trivial: modify comments to refer to new location of files
This patch removes all self references and fixes references to files
in the now defunct arch/ppc64 tree.  I think this accomplises
everything wanted, though there might be a few references I missed.

Marcelo Tosatti 3ea4807de7 [PATCH] powerpc/8xx: last two 8MB D-TLB entries are incorrectly set
The last two 8MB TLB entries are being incorrectly set by initial_mmu on 8xx.

The first entry is written with the same virtual/physical address, which
renders it invalid:

BDI>rms 792 0x00001e00
BDI>rms 824 1
BDI>rds 824
SPR  824 : 0xc08000c0  -1065353024
BDI>rds 825
SPR  825 : 0xc0800de0  -1065349664
BDI>rds 826
SPR  826 : 0x00000000            0

And the second entry, in addition, does not have its TLB index set
correctly.

Marcelo Tosatti 8f069b1a90 [PATCH] powerpc/8xx: Use 8MB D-TLB's for kernel static mapping faults
The following implements support for instantiation of 8MB D-TLB
entries for the kernel direct virtual mapping on 8xx, thus reducing TLB
space consumed for the kernel.

Test used: writing 40MB from /dev/zero to file in ext2fs over 
RAMDISK.

$ time dd if=/dev/zero of=file bs=4k count=10000 

VANILLA			8MB kernel data pages

real    0m11.485s	real    0m11.267s
user    0m0.218s        user    0m0.250s
sys     0m8.939s	sys     0m9.108s

real    0m11.518s	real    0m10.978s
user    0m0.203s 	user    0m0.222s
sys     0m9.585s	sys     0m9.138s

real    0m11.554s	real    0m10.967s
user    0m0.228s    	user    0m0.222s
sys     0m9.497s	sys     0m9.127s

real    0m11.633s	real	0m11.286s
user    0m0.214s	user    0m0.196s
sys     0m9.529s	sys     0m9.134s

and averages for both:

real	11.54750	real 11.12450

Which is a 3.6% improvement in execution time. More improvement is
expected for loads with larger kernel data footprint (real workloads).

Stephen Rothwell dc1c1ca3dc powerpc: merge idle_power4.S and trapc.s
Use idle_power4.S from ppc64 as we are not going to support
32 bit power4 in the merged tree.

Merge ppc64 traps.c into powerpc traps.c:
	use ppc64 versions of exception routine names
		(as they don't have StudlyCaps)
	make all the versions if die() have the same
		prototype

Marcelo Tosatti 3a1ce8aa2d [PATCH] ppc32: 8xx: update DataTLBMiss exception comment
On PPC 8xx, the DataTLBMiss handler does not jump directly to the page
fault handler, as was the case in v2.4.

It instead loads an invalid TLB which causes a subsequent DataTLBError
exception.

The comment on top of it haven't been update to reflect the change, though.

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!
