This is an implementation of a suggestion made by Chris Torek:
--------------------
Something else I noticed in passing: the EX and EX_LD/EX_ST macros
scattered throughout the various .S files make a fair bit of .fixup
code, all of which does the same thing. At the cost of one symbol
in copy_in_user.S, you could just have one common two-instruction
retl-and-mov-1 fixup that they all share.
--------------------
The following is with a defconfig build:

o Renamed files in sparc64 to <name>_64.S when identical
to sparc32 files.
o iomap.c were equal for sparc32 and sparc64
o adjusted sparc/Makefile now we have only one lib/

A few places missed the "a" specifier for the __ex_table section. Add
these so we avoid generation an additional section at link time.
Latest modpost would otherwise complain like this:
WARNING: vmlinux.o (__ex_table.2): section name inconsistency.
(.[number]+) following section name.
Did you forget to use "ax"/"aw" in a .S file?
Note that for example <linux/init.h> contains
section definitions for use in .S files.
WARNING: vmlinux.o (__ex_table.4): section name inconsistency.
(.[number]+) following section name.

Check the cpu type in the OBP device tree before committing to
using the optimized Niagara memcpy and memset implementation.
If we don't recognize the cpu type, use a completely generic
version.

The manual says that it is required and we actually have crash reports
where loads see stale data due to not having membars here.
In one case the networking does:
memset(skb, 0, offsetof(struct sk_buff, truesize));
and then some code later checks skb->nohdr for zero, but it's still
the value that was there before the memset().
Note that arch/sparc64/lib/xor.S already got this right.

We only need to write an invalid tag every 16 bytes,
so taking advantage of this can save many instructions
compared to the simple memset() call we make now.
A prefetching implementation is implemented for sun4u
and a block-init store version if implemented for Niagara.
The next trick is to be able to perform an init and
a copy_tsb() in parallel when growing a TSB table.
