PIT_TICK_RATE is currently defined in four architectures, but in three
different places. While linux/timex.h is not the perfect place for it, it
is still a reasonable replacement for those drivers that traditionally use
asm/timex.h to get CLOCK_TICK_RATE and expect it to be the PIT frequency.
Note that for Alpha, the actual value changed from 1193182UL to 1193180UL.
This is unlikely to make a difference, and probably can only improve
accuracy. There was a discussion on the correct value of CLOCK_TICK_RATE
a few years ago, after which every existing instance was getting changed
to 1193182. According to the specification, it should be
1193181.818181...

Currently the FLASH database is updated by the kernel using file operations,
meant for userspace only. While this works for us because copy_{from,to}_user()
on powerpc can handle kernel pointers, this is unportable and a bad example.
Replace the file operations by callbacks, registered by the ps3flash driver.

On 32-bit non-Book E, local_irq_restore() turns into just mtmsr(),
which doesn't currently have a compiler memory barrier. This means
that accesses to memory inside a local_irq_save/restore section,
or a spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore section on UP, can
be reordered by the compiler to occur outside that section.
To fix this, this adds a compiler memory barrier to mtmsr for both
32-bit and 64-bit. Having a compiler memory barrier in mtmsr makes
sense because it will almost always be changing something about the
context in which memory accesses are done, so in general we don't want
memory accesses getting moved from one side of an mtmsr to the other.
With the barrier in mtmsr(), some of the explicit barriers in
hw_irq.h are now redundant, so this removes them.

This provides a reliable way for asm-generic/types.h and other
files to find out if it is running on a 32 or 64 bit platform.
We cannot use CONFIG_64BIT for this in headers that are included
from user space because CONFIG symbols are not available there.
We also cannot do it inside of asm/types.h because some headers
need the word size but cannot include types.h.
The solution is to introduce a new header <asm/bitsperlong.h>
that defines both __BITS_PER_LONG for user space and
BITS_PER_LONG for usage in the kernel. The asm-generic
version falls back to 32 bit unless the architecture overrides
it, which I did for all 64 bit platforms.

This patch includes the basic infrastructure to use swiotlb
bounce buffering on 32-bit powerpc. It is not yet enabled on
any platforms. Probably the most interesting bit is the
addition of addr_needs_map to dma_ops - we need this as
a dma_op because the decision of whether or not an addr
can be mapped by a device is device-specific.

The implementation we just revived has issues, such as using a
Kconfig-defined virtual address area in kernel space that nothing
actually carves out (and thus will overlap whatever is there),
or having some dependencies on being self contained in a single
PTE page which adds unnecessary constraints on the kernel virtual
address space.
This fixes it by using more classic PTE accessors and automatically
locating the area for consistent memory, carving an appropriate hole
in the kernel virtual address space, leaving only the size of that
area as a Kconfig option. It also brings some dma-mask related fixes
from the ARM implementation which was almost identical initially but
grew its own fixes.

Currently, the 32-bit code uses sg->length instead of sg->dma_lentgh
to report sg_dma_len. However, since the default dma code for 32-bit
(the dma_direct case) sets dma_length and length to the same thing,
we should be able to use dma_length there as well. This gets rid of
some 32-vs-64-bit ifdefs, and is needed by the swiotlb code which
actually distinguishes between dma_length and length.

Adds support for the "unused" page hint which can be used in shared
memory partitions to flag pages not in use, which will then be stolen
before active pages by the hypervisor when memory needs to be moved to
LPARs in need of additional memory. Failure to mark pages as 'unused'
makes the LPAR slower to give up unused memory to other partitions.
This adds the kernel parameter 'cmo_free_hint' to disable this
functionality.
