To add support for 36-bit physical addressing on e500 the following changes
have been made. The changes are generalized to support any physical address
size larger than 32-bits:
* Allow FSL Book-E parts to use a 64-bit PTE, it is 44-bits of pfn, 20-bits
of flags.
* Introduced new CPU feature (CPU_FTR_BIG_PHYS) to allow runtime handling of
updating hardware register (SPRN_MAS7) which holds the upper 32-bits of
physical address that will be written into the TLB. This is useful since
not all e500 cores support 36-bit physical addressing.
* Currently have a pass through implementation of fixup_bigphys_addr
* Moved _PAGE_DIRTY in the 64-bit PTE case to free room for three additional
storage attributes that may exist in future FSL Book-E cores and updated
fault handler to copy these bits into the hardware TLBs.

Allow the pfn to be offset by more than just PAGE_SHIFT in the pte. Today,
PAGE_SHIFT tends to allow us to have 12-bits of flags in the pte. In the
future if we have a larger pte we can allocate more bits for flags by
offsetting the pfn even further.

While the existing pte_update code handled atomically modifying a 64-bit PTE,
it did not return all 64-bits of the PTE before it was modified. This causes
problems in some places that expect the full PTE to be returned, like
ptep_get_and_clear().
Created a new pte_update function that is conditional on CONFIG_PTE_64BIT. It
atomically reads the low PTE word which all PTE flags are required to be in
and returns a premodified full 64-bit PTE.
Since we now have an explicit 64-bit PTE version of pte_update we can also
remove the hack that existed to get the low PTE word regardless of size.

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!
