apply_relocate_add() does not support R_PPC_ADDR16_HI relocations, which
prevents some non gcc-built modules to be loaded.

This makes powerpc use the generic BUG machinery. The biggest reports the
function name, since it is redundant with kallsyms, and not needed in general.
There is an overall reduction of code, since module_32/64 duplicated several
functions.
Unfortunately there's no way to tell gcc that BUG won't return, so the BUG
macro includes a goto loop. This will generate a real jmp instruction, which
is never used.

This patch adds support for feature fixups in modules. This involves
adding support for R_PPC64_REL64 relocs to the 64 bits module loader.
It also modifies modpost.c to ignore the powerpc fixup sections (or it
would warn when used in .init.text).

... and rename it to module_32.c since it is the 32-bit version.
The 32-bit and 64-bit ABIs are sufficiently different that having
a merged version isn't really practical.

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!
