The patch adds fragments caused by rh_alloc_align() back to free list, instead
of allocating the whole chunk of memory. This will greatly improve memory
utilization managed by rheap.
It solves MURAM not enough problem with 3 UCCs enabled on MPC8323.

When an rheap is created, the caller can specify the alignment to use. In
rh_alloc_align(), if a free block is found that is the exact size needed
(including extra space for alignment), that configured alignment value is not
used to align the pointer. Instead, the default alignment is used. If the
default alignment is smaller than the configured alignment, then the returned
value will not be aligned correctly.

The rheap allocation functions return a pointer, but the actual value is based
on how the heap was initialized, and so it can be anything, e.g. an offset
into a buffer. A ulong is a better representation of the value returned by
the allocation functions.
This patch changes all of the relevant rheap functions to use a unsigned long
integers instead of a pointer. In case of an error, the value returned is
a negative error code that has been cast to an unsigned long. The caller can
use the IS_ERR_VALUE() macro to check for this.
All code which calls the rheap functions is updated accordingly. Macros
IS_MURAM_ERR() and IS_DPERR(), have been deleted in favor of IS_ERR_VALUE().
Also added error checking to rh_attach_region().

For 32-bit systems, powerpc still relies on the 4level-fixup.h hack,
to pretend that the generic pagetable handling stuff is 3-levels
rather than 4. This patch removes this, instead using the newer
pgtable-nopmd.h to handle the elision of both the pud and pmd
pagetable levels (ppc32 pagetables are actually 2 levels).
This removes a little extraneous code, and makes it more easily
compared to the 64-bit pagetable code.

The grow() function in the rheap library allocates a larger array of blocks,
copies the contents of the old blocks array to the newly allocated array and
fixes the list_head pointers after the copy. At the end, the new blocks must
be enqueued to the empty_list of the rh_info_t structure. This patch fixes
a bug where the code was indexing past the end of the array when enqueueing
blocks. The UCC ethernet driver, which uses the rheap allocator, experiences
kernel panics because of this bug.

Including support for non-coherent cache, some mm-related things +
relevant field in Kconfig and Makefiles. Also included rheap.o compilation
if 8xx is defined.
Non-coherent mapping were refined and renamed according to Cristoph
Hellwig. Orphaned functions were cleaned up.
[Also removed arch/ppc/kernel/dma-mapping.c, because otherwise
compiling with ARCH=ppc for a non DMA-cache-coherent platform ends up
with two copies of __dma_alloc_coherent etc.

On powerpc, probing on emulate_step function will crash 2.6.18.1 when
it is triggered.
When kprobe is triggered, emulate_step() is on its kernel path and
will cause recursive kprobe fault. And branch_taken() is called
in emulate_step(). This disallows kprobes on both of them.

There already exists a big endian safe bitops implementation in
lib/find_next_bit.c. The code in it is 90%+ common with the powerpc
specific version, so the powerpc version is redundant. This patch
makes the necessary changes to use the generic bitops in powerpc, and
removes the powerpc specific version.

At present the lppaca - the structure shared with the iSeries
hypervisor and phyp - is contained within the PACA, our own low-level
per-cpu structure. This doesn't have to be so, the patch below
removes it, making a separate array of lppaca structures.
This saves approximately 500*NR_CPUS bytes of image size and kernel
memory, because we don't need aligning gap between the Linux and
hypervisor portions of every PACA. On the other hand it means an
extra level of dereference in many accesses to the lppaca.
The patch also gets rid of several places where we assign the paca
address to a local variable for no particular reason.

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.

Here's a revised version. This re-introduces the set_bits() function
from ppc64, which I removed because I thought it was unused (it exists
on no other arch). In fact it is used in the powermac interrupt code
(but not on pSeries).
- We use LARXL/STCXL macros to generate the right (32 or 64 bit)
instructions, similar to LDL/STL from ppc_asm.h, used in fpu.S
- ppc32 previously used a full "sync" barrier at the end of
test_and_*_bit(), whereas ppc64 used an "isync". The merged version
uses "isync", since I believe that's sufficient.
- The ppc64 versions of then minix_*() bitmap functions have changed
semantics. Previously on ppc64, these functions were big-endian
(that is bit 0 was the LSB in the first 64-bit, big-endian word).
On ppc32 (and x86, for that matter, they were little-endian. As far
as I can tell, the big-endian usage was simply wrong - I guess
no-one ever tried to use minixfs on ppc64.
- On ppc32 find_next_bit() and find_next_zero_bit() are no longer
inline (they were already out-of-line on ppc64).
- For ppc64, sched_find_first_bit() has moved from mmu_context.h to
the merged bitops. What it was doing in mmu_context.h in the first
place, I have no idea.
- The fls() function is now implemented using the cntlzw instruction
on ppc64, instead of generic_fls(), as it already was on ppc32.
- For ARCH=ppc, this patch requires adding arch/powerpc/lib to the
arch/ppc/Makefile. This in turn requires some changes to
arch/powerpc/lib/Makefile which didn't correctly handle ARCH=ppc.
Built and running on G5.

The merged version follows the ppc64 version pretty closely mostly,
and in fact ARCH=ppc64 now uses the arch/powerpc/xmon version.
The main difference for ppc64 is that the 'p' command to call
show_state (which was always pretty dodgy) has been replaced by
the ppc32 'p' command, which calls a given procedure (so in fact
the old 'p' command behaviour can be achieved with 'p $show_state').
