This patch extends the floating point save and restore code to use the
VSX load/stores when VSX is available. This will make FP context
save/restore marginally slower on FP only code, when VSX is available,
as it has to load/store 128bits rather than just 64bits.
Mixing FP, VMX and VSX code will get constant architected state.
The signals interface is extended to enable access to VSR 0-31
doubleword 1 after discussions with tool chain maintainers. Backward
compatibility is maintained.
The ptrace interface is also extended to allow access to VSR 0-31 full
registers.

This adds the macros for the VSX load/store instruction as most
binutils are not going to support this for a while.
Also add VSX register save/restore macros and vsr[0-63] register definitions.

Forthcoming machines will extend the FPSCR to 64 bits. We already
had a 64-bit save area for the FPSCR, but we need to use a new form
of the mtfsf instruction. Fortunately this new form is decoded as
an ordinary mtfsf by existing 64-bit processors.

When loading up the FPU, we were using a 'ld' (load doubleword)
instruction to get the FP exception mode from the thread_struct,
but it's only an int field. This changes the ld to lwz (load
word and zero-extend).

This patch consolidates the variety of macros used for loading 32 or
64-bit constants in assembler (LOADADDR, LOADBASE, SET_REG_TO_*). The
idea is to make the set of macros consistent across 32 and 64 bit and
to make it more obvious which is the appropriate one to use in a given
situation. The new macros and their semantics are described in the
comments in ppc_asm.h.
In the process, we change several places that were unnecessarily using
immediate loads on ppc64 to use the GOT/TOC. Likewise we cleanup a
couple of places where we were clumsily subtracting PAGE_OFFSET with
asm instructions to use assemble-time arithmetic or the toreal() macro
instead.

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).

On 32-bit platforms, these convert from kernel virtual addresses
to real (physical addresses), like tophys/tovirt but they use
the same register for the source and destination. On 64-bit
platforms, they do nothing because the hardware ignores the top
two bits of the address in real mode.
These new macros are used in fpu.S now.

The recent merge of fpu.S broken the handling of fpscr for
ARCH=powerpc and CONFIG_PPC64=y. FP registers could be corrupted,
leading to strange random application crashes.
The confusion arises, because the thread_struct has (and requires) a
64-bit area to save the fpscr, because we use load/store double
instructions to get it in to/out of the FPU. However, only the low
32-bits are actually used, so we want to treat it as a 32-bit quantity
when manipulating its bits to avoid extra load/stores on 32-bit. This
patch replaces the current definition with a structure of two 32-bit
quantities (pad and val), to clarify things as much as is possible.
The 'val' field is used when manipulating bits, the structure itself
is used when obtaining the address for loading/unloading the value
from the FPU.
While we're at it, consolidate the 4 (!) almost identical versions of
cvt_fd() and cvt_df() (arch/ppc/kernel/misc.S,
arch/ppc64/kernel/misc.S, arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S,
arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_64.S) into a single version in fpu.S. The
new version takes a pointer to thread_struct and applies the correct
offset itself, rather than a pointer to the fpscr field itself, again
to avoid confusion as to which is the correct field to use.
Finally, this patch makes ARCH=ppc64 also use the consolidated fpu.S
code, which it previously did not.
Built for G5 (ARCH=ppc64 and ARCH=powerpc), 32-bit powermac (ARCH=ppc
and ARCH=powerpc) and Walnut (ARCH=ppc, CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION=y).
Booted on G5 (ARCH=powerpc) and things which previously fell over no
longer do.

These macros help in writing assembly code that works for both ppc32
and ppc64. With this we now have a common fpu.S. This takes out
load_up_fpu from head_64.S.

This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch
of Kconfig files. It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm,
arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac. This is enough
to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc.
For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and
arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel. This makes some minor changes
to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc.
The boot directory is still not merged. That's going to be interesting.
