When I sent in the patch adding the code for the kernel to tell the
firmware about its capabilities on pSeries machines, I included the
function to give the capabilities to firmware but somehow forgot the
hunk that adds the call to the new function. This patch adds the
call.

The latest speedbumped Apple G5 models have a "bug" in the Open Firmware
device tree that lacks the proper interrupt routing information for the
northbridge i2c controller. Apple's driver silently falls back into a
sub-optimal "polled" mode (heh, maybe they didn't even notice the bug
because of that :), our driver didn't properly check and crashes :(
This patch fixes our driver to not crash, and adds code to the
prom_init() OF trampoline code that detects the "bug" and adds the
missing information back for this chipset revision. This fixes booting
and thermal control on these models.

Recent gcc 4.0 testing uncovered a firmware issue. Some properties are larger
than 31 bytes and due to gcc 4.0s better stack allocation this overflow ran
over non volatile register storage.

On pSeries systems, according to the platform architecture specs, we are
supposed to be supplying a structure to firmware that tells firmware about
our capabilities, such as which version of the data structures that
describe available memory we are expecting to see. The way we end up
having to supply this data structure is a bit gross, since it was designed
for AIX and doesn't suit us very well. This patch adds the code to supply
this data structure to the firmware.

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!
