Benjamin Herrenschmidt 183d020258 [PATCH] ppc64: SMU partition recovery
This patch adds the ability to the SMU driver to recover missing
calibration partitions from the SMU chip itself. It also adds some
dynamic mecanism to /proc/device-tree so that new properties are visible
to userland.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 3c726f8dee [PATCH] ppc64: support 64k pages
Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel
base page size to 64K.  The resulting kernel still boots on any
hardware.  On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel
will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently.

Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch
will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm
still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the
information from the newer hypervisors.

Stephen Rothwell 426c1a11a6 powerpc: move iSeries/iSeries_pci.h to platforms/iseries
The only real user of this file outside platforms/iseries was
drivers/net/iseries_veth.c but all it wanted was ISERIES_HV_ADDR()
so we move that to abs_addr.h (and lowercase it).

Stephen Rothwell 252e75a51d ppc64 iSeries: use device_node instead of iSeries_Device_node
There needs to be more cleanup after this.

Paul Mackerras 1635317fac [PATCH] Separate pci bits out of struct device_node
This patch pulls the PCI-related junk out of struct device_node and
puts it in a separate structure, struct pci_dn.  The device_node now
just has a void * pointer in it, which points to a struct pci_dn for
nodes that represent PCI devices.  It could potentially be used in
future for device-specific data for other sorts of devices, such as
virtual I/O devices.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 34153fa3af [PATCH] flattened device tree changes
This patch updates the format of the flattened device-tree passed
between the boot trampoline and the kernel to support a more compact
representation, for use by embedded systems mostly.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 5f64f73957 [PATCH] ppc32/ppc64: cleanup /proc/device-tree
This cleans up the /proc/device-tree representation of the Open Firmware
device-tree on ppc and ppc64.  It does the following things:

 - Workaround an issue in some Apple device-trees where a property may
   exist with the same name as a child node of the parent.  We now
   simply "drop" the property instead of creating duplicate entries in
   /proc with random result...

 - Do not try to chop off the "@0" at the end of a node name whose unit
   address is 0.  This is not useful, inconsistent, and the code was
   buggy and didn't always work anyway.

 - Do not create symlinks for the short name and unit address parts of a
   node.  These were never really used, bloated the memory footprint of
   the device-tree with useless struct proc_dir_entry and their matching
   dentry and inode cache bloat.

This results in smaller code, smaller memory footprint, and a more
accurate view of the tree presented to userland.

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!
