A bunch of code has hard-coded the value for a "nop" instruction, it
would be nice to have a #define for it.

Currently create_branch() creates a branch instruction for you, and
patches it into the call site. In some circumstances it would be nice
to be able to create the instruction and patch it later, and also some
code might want to check for errors in the branch creation before
doing the patching. A future commit will change create_branch() to
check for errors.
For callers that don't care, replace create_branch() with
patch_branch(), which just creates the branch and patches it directly.
While we're touching all the callers, change to using unsigned int *,
as this seems to match usage better. That allows (and requires) us to
remove the volatile in the definition of vector in powermac/smp.c and
mpc86xx_smp.c, that's correct because now that we're passing vector as
an unsigned int * the compiler knows that it's value might change
across the patch_branch() call.

We currently have a few routines for patching code in asm/system.h, because
they didn't fit anywhere else. I'd like to clean them up a little and add
some more, so first move them into a dedicated C file - they don't need to
be inlined.
While we're moving the code, drop create_function_call(), it's intended
caller never got merged and will be replaced in future with something
different.

This saves 4k on non pSeries builds (except for iSeries where it saves
almost 4k).

We don't have much in the way of doc comments, but some of those we do have
don't work because they start with "/***" or "/*", not "/**" which is what
kernel-doc requires.

We need to know the base address of the kdump kernel even when we're not a
kdump kernel, so add a #define for it. Move the logic that sets the kdump
kernelbase into kdump.h instead of page.h.
Rename kdump_setup() to setup_kdump_trampoline() to make it clearer what it's
doing, and add an empty definition for the !CRASH_DUMP case to avoid a

The boot cmdline is parsed in parse_early_param() and
parse_args(,unknown_bootoption).
And __setup() is used in obsolete_checksetup().
start_kernel()
-> parse_args()
-> unknown_bootoption()
-> obsolete_checksetup()
If __setup()'s callback (->setup_func()) returns 1 in
obsolete_checksetup(), obsolete_checksetup() thinks a parameter was
handled.
If ->setup_func() returns 0, obsolete_checksetup() tries other
->setup_func(). If all ->setup_func() that matched a parameter returns 0,
a parameter is seted to argv_init[].
Then, when runing /sbin/init or init=app, argv_init[] is passed to the app.
If the app doesn't ignore those arguments, it will warning and exit.
This patch fixes a wrong usage of it, however fixes obvious one only.

Implementing the machine_crash_shutdown which will be called by
crash_kexec (called in case of a panic, sysrq etc.). Disable the
interrupts, shootdown cpus using debugger IPI and collect regs
for all CPUs.
elfcorehdr= specifies the location of elf core header stored by
the crashed kernel. This command line option will be passed by
the kexec-tools to capture kernel.
savemaxmem= specifies the actual memory size that the first kernel
has and this value will be used for dumping in the capture kernel.
This command line option will be passed by the kexec-tools to
capture kernel.

Regardless of where the kernel's linked we always get interrupts at low
addresses. This patch creates a trampoline in the first 3 pages of memory,
where interrupts land, and patches those addresses to jump into the real
kernel code at PHYSICAL_START.
We also need to reserve the trampoline code and a bit more in prom.c
