Eliminate the use of error_log_cnt as a global var shared across
different directories. Pass it as a parameter instead.

Get rid of the jumbled usage of the no_logging flag. Its use
spans several directories, and is incorrectly/misleadingly
documented. Instead, two changes:
1) nvram will accept error log as soon as its ready.
2) logging to nvram stops on the first fatal error reported.

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Run this:
#!/bin/sh
for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do
echo "De-casting $f..."
perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f
done
And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers
to non-pointers.
And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

This is a cosmetic fixup. When printing the nvram partition table, the
first couple entries have a shorter 'index' value than the others, so
table is a bit askew. This change makes the table look pretty.
Tested on pseries and g5. Footnote: yes, this table is normally hidden
behind a DEBUG_NVRAM #define.

This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this,
board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.
We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
_machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also
changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
_machine.

/dev/nvram uses the user-provided read/write size
for kmalloc, which fails, if a large number is passed.
This will always use a single page at most, which
can be expected to succeed.

This also deletes the now-unused Makefiles under arch/ppc64.
Both of the files moved over could use some merging, but for now I
have moved them as-is and arranged for them to be used only in 64-bit
kernels. For 32-bit kernels we still use arch/ppc/kernel/idle.c and
drivers/char/generic_nvram.c as before.

This patch merges platform codes. systemcfg->platform is no longer used,
systemcfg use in general is deprecated as much as possible (and renamed
_systemcfg before it gets completely moved elsewhere in a future patch),
_machine is now used on ppc64 along as ppc32. Platform codes aren't gone
yet but we are getting a step closer. A bunch of asm code in head[_64].S
is also turned into C code.

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!
