[PATCH] ppc32: Tell userland about lack of standard TB

Glibc is about to get some new high precision timer stuff that relies on
the standard timebase of the PPC architecture.

However, some (rare & old) CPUs do not have such timebase and it is a
bit annoying to have your stuff just crash because you are running on
the wrong CPU...

This exposes to userland a CPU feature bit that tells that the current
processor doesn't have a standard timebase.  It's negative logic so that
glibc will still "just work" on older kernels (it will just be unhappy
on those old CPUs but that doesn't really matter as distro tend to
update glibc & kernel at the same time).

[PATCH] ppc32: Support 36-bit physical addressing on e500

To add support for 36-bit physical addressing on e500 the following changes
have been made.  The changes are generalized to support any physical address
size larger than 32-bits:

* Allow FSL Book-E parts to use a 64-bit PTE, it is 44-bits of pfn, 20-bits
  of flags.

* Introduced new CPU feature (CPU_FTR_BIG_PHYS) to allow runtime handling of
  updating hardware register (SPRN_MAS7) which holds the upper 32-bits of
  physical address that will be written into the TLB.  This is useful since
  not all e500 cores support 36-bit physical addressing.

* Currently have a pass through implementation of fixup_bigphys_addr

* Moved _PAGE_DIRTY in the 64-bit PTE case to free room for three additional
  storage attributes that may exist in future FSL Book-E cores and updated
  fault handler to copy these bits into the hardware TLBs.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

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!
