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.

The ancient ppcdebug/PPCDBG mechanism is now only used in two places.
First, in the hash setup code, one of the bits allows the size of the
hash table to be reduced by a factor of 8 - which would be better
accomplished with a command line option for that purpose. The other
was a bunch of bus walking related messages in the iSeries code, which
would seem to be insufficient reason to keep the mechanism.
This patch removes the last traces of this mechanism.
Built and booted on iSeries and pSeries POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc).

Add the /cpus node and nodes for each cpu, as well as cache size properties,
reg propery, "linux,boot-cpu", and timebase/clock frequency.
With those properties in place we can remove:
- setup_iSeries_cache_sizes()
- code in iSeries_setup_arch() to calculate timebase etc.
- iSeries_calibrate_decr()
- smp_iSeries_numProcs() and simplify smp_iSeries_probe()

This patch removes from the iSeries header files a large number of inline
functions that are not used. It also changes the only caller of a HvCallCfg
function that is outside HvLpConfig.h to its equivalent HvLpConfig function
and no longer includes HvCallCfg.h where it is not needed.

include/asm-ppc64/iSeries/LparData.h just included a whole lot of other files
to declare variables that would be better declared in those other files. So,
remove it. This will reduce that number of things needed to be included in
most cases to access the relevant variables.

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!
