This fixes a regression introduced by commit
a4e22f02f5 ("powerpc: Update 64bit
__copy_tofrom_user() using CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD").
The same bug that existed in the 64bit memcpy() also exists here so fix
it here too. The fix is the same as that applied to memcpy() with the
addition of fixes for the exception handling code required for
__copy_tofrom_user().
This stops us reading beyond the end of the source region we were told
to copy.

In exactly the same way that we updated memcpy() with new feature
sections in commit 25d6e2d7c5 ("powerpc:
Update 64bit memcpy() using CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD"), we do the same
thing here for __copy_tofrom_user(). Once again this is purely a
performance tweak for Cell and Power6 - this has no effect on all the
other 64bit powerpc chips.
We can make these same changes to __copy_tofrom_user() because the
basic copy algorithm is the same as in memcpy() - this version just
has all the exception handling logic needed when copying to or from
userspace as well as a special case for copying whole 4K pages that
are page aligned.
CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD CPU was added in commit
4ec577a289 ("powerpc: Add new CPU
feature: CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD").
We also make the same simple one line change from cmpldi r1,... to
cmpldi cr1,... for consistency.

mtocrf is a faster single-field mtcrf (move to condition register
fields) instruction available in POWER4 and later processors. It can
make quite a difference in performance on some implementations, so use
it for CONFIG_POWER4_ONLY builds.

This patch removes all self references and fixes references to files
in the now defunct arch/ppc64 tree. I think this accomplises
everything wanted, though there might be a few references I missed.

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.

This doesn't change any code, just renames things so we consistently
have foo_32.c and foo_64.c where we have separate 32- and 64-bit
versions.

This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch
of Kconfig files. It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm,
arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac. This is enough
to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc.
For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and
arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel. This makes some minor changes
to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc.
The boot directory is still not merged. That's going to be interesting.

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!
