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.

Currently there's a per-cpu count of lpevents processed, a per-queue (ie.
global) total count, and a count by event type.
Replace all that with a count by event for each cpu. We only need to add
it up int the proc code.

The iSeries code keeps a pointer to the ItLpQueue in its paca struct. But
all these pointers end up pointing to the one place, ie. xItLpQueue.
So remove the pointer from the paca struct and just refer to xItLpQueue
directly where needed.
The only complication is that the spread_lpevents logic was implemented by
having a NULL lpqueue pointer in the paca on CPUs that weren't supposed to
process events. Instead we just compare the spread_lpevents value to the
processor id to get the same behaviour.

This patch removes some unused bits from HvCall.h and some unneeded #includes
from other files. Also includes ItLpQueue.h in paca.h in preference to a stub
declaration of struct ItLpQueue.

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!
