Make firmware_has_feature() evaluate at compile time for the non pSeries
case and tidy up code where possible.

Create the firmware_has_feature() inline and move the firmware feature
stuff into its own header file.

The firmware_features field of struct cpu_spec should really be a separate
variable as the firmware features do not depend on the chip and the
bitmask is constructed independently. By removing it, we save 112 bytes
from the cpu_specs array and we access the bitmask directly instead of via
the cur_cpu_spec pointer.

The following is a patch provided by Ananth Mavinakayanahalli that implements
the new PPC64 specific parts of the new function return probe design.
NOTE: Since getting Ananth's patch, I changed trampoline_probe_handler()
to consume each of the outstanding return probem instances (feedback
on my original RFC after Ananth cut a patch), and also added the
arch_init() function (adding arch specific initialization.) I have
cross compiled but have not testing this on a PPC64 machine.
Changes include:
* Addition of kretprobe_trampoline to act as a dummy function for instrumented
functions to return to, and for the return probe infrastructure to place
a kprobe on on, gaining control so that the return probe handler
can be called, and so that the instruction pointer can be moved back
to the original return address.
* Addition of arch_init(), allowing a kprobe to be registered on
kretprobe_trampoline
* Addition of trampoline_probe_handler() which is used as the pre_handler
for the kprobe inserted on kretprobe_implementation. This is the function
that handles the details for calling the return probe handler function
and returning control back at the original return address
* Addition of arch_prepare_kretprobe() which is setup as the pre_handler
for a kprobe registered at the beginning of the target function by
kernel/kprobes.c so that a return probe instance can be setup when
a caller enters the target function. (A return probe instance contains
all the needed information for trampoline_probe_handler to do it's job.)
* Hooks added to the exit path of a task so that we can cleanup any left-over
return probe instances (i.e. if a task dies while inside a targeted function
then the return probe instance was reserved at the beginning of the function
but the function never returns so we need to mark the instance as unused.)

Currently ppc64 has two mm_structs for the kernel, init_mm and also
ioremap_mm. The latter really isn't necessary: this patch abolishes it,
instead restricting vmallocs to the lower 1TB of the init_mm's range and
placing io mappings in the upper 1TB. This simplifies the code in a number
of places and eliminates an unecessary set of pagetables. It also tweaks
the unmap/free path a little, allowing us to remove the unmap_im_area() set
of page table walkers, replacing them with unmap_vm_area().

The iseries has a bar graph on the front panel that shows how busy it is.
The operating system sets and clears a bit in the CTRL register to control
it.
Instead of going to the complexity of using a thread info bit, just set and
clear it in the idle loop.
Also create two helper functions, ppc64_runlatch_on and ppc64_runlatch_off.
Finally don't use the short form of the SPR defines.

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!
