The combination of commit
8154c5d22d and
93c22703ef
Broke boot on iSeries.
The problem is that iSeries very early boot code, which generates
the device-tree and runs before our normal early initializations
does need access the lppaca's very early, before the PACA array is
initialized, and in fact even before the boot PACA has been
initialized (it contains all 0's at this stage).
However, the first patch above makes that code use the new
llpaca_of(cpu) accessor, which itself is changed by the second patch to
use the PACA array.
We fix that by reverting iSeries to directly dereferencing the array. In
addition, we fix all iterators in the iSeries code to always skip CPU
whose number is above 63 which is the maximum size of that array and
the maximum number of supported CPUs on these machines.
Additionally, we make sure the boot_paca is properly initialized
in our early startup code.

Some of those functions try to adjust the CPU features, for example
to remove NAP support on some revisions. However, they seem to use
r5 as an index into the CPU table entry, which might have been right
a long time ago but no longer is. r4 is the right register to use.

When calling setup_cpu() on 64-bit, we pass a pointer to the
cputable entry we have found. This used to be fine when cur_cpu_spec
was a pointer to that entry, but nowadays, we copy the entry into
a separate variable, and we do so before we call the setup_cpu()
callback. That means that any attempt by that callback at patching
the CPU table entry (to adjust CPU features for example) will patch
the wrong table.

Newer versions of the System p firwmare send a partial RTAS error log in the
machine check handler with a more detailed response appearing sometime later
via check event.
This means at machine check time we do not have enough information to
ascertain exactly what went on. Furthermore, I have found the RTAS error
logs in the machine check handler contain no useful information, so halting on
them makes little sense. If we want to halt it would make more sense to do
it following the error log received sometime later via check event.
In light of this, never halt the error log in the pseries machine
check handler.

When we create an alternative feature section, the else case must be the
same size or smaller than the body. This is because when we patch the
else case in we just overwrite the body, so there must be room.
Up to now we just did this by inspection, but it's quite easy to enforce
it in the assembler, so we should.
The only change is to add the ifgt block, but that effects the alignment
of the tabs and so the whole macro is modified.
Also add a test, but #if 0 it because we don't want to break the build.

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.
This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.
